Rosso Trilli, 2022

Light enough to pass for a rosé and perfumed like one too - a red from an Australian grower living above a volcanic lake north of Rome.

Trish Nelson is an Australian who trained at Cantina Giardino and Le Coste and now lives above Lake Bolsena in northern Lazio. This red is mostly Aleatico, a perfumed grape related to Muscat that is usually made sweet. Here it is dry, light and aromatic, sitting between a rosé and a red. Nothing is added in the cellar.
