Montepulciano Rosé
Overview
She’s fun, lively and vivacious. The perfect companion for a warm summer’s day, a sunset beach walk or a lazy BBQ lunch. Salvatore Trimboli’s first ‘Marie’ wine is a light, crisp rosé with berry fruit flavours that love mingling with the citrus and spice notes. It’s made from Montepulciano grapes – a sentimental favourite with Salvatore as he was one of the first to plant this grape in Australia. He’s named this brand after another sentimental favourite - his first granddaughter.
