Rosé is great the whole year around and there’s always a good one on the table at Thanksgiving at our house. One of our favorites from Italy just came back into stock—the extraordinary dry rosato from the Amalfi Coast’s most important producer, Marisa Cuomo. It’s normally tightly allocated and a challenge to find, except in a few Bay Area locations from whence it disappears quickly. The importer, though, just told us an extra pallet just showed up from Italy on a recent container and, suddenly, he’s flush. That’s music to our ears!

Made from half the Campanian Piedirosso grape (called in Amalfi Per‘e Palummo) and half dark, spicy Aglianico, it’s more a coppery salmon color than a bright pink, and brings with it a lovely set of salty seaside aromatics including yellow cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, wild fennel (in abundance), beach scrub and, of course, Amalfi lemon. There is a broad hint of sea spray and petrichor mineral that will transport you to one of the Amalfi Coast’s many beachside restaurants where you will be, no doubt, dining on things like grilled tuna steaks in Calabrian chili brodo or fresh mozzarella grilled between lemon leaves. It’s drinking perfectly now and will continue to do so over the next few years.
