Named after the medieval hamlet and convent on the Castell'in Villa estate, La Gazzara is a 100% Sangiovese rosé from Toscana IGT. Rather than a light, easy-quaffing summer rosé, it is built more like a delicate red: notes of red currant, rose petal, cherry, and unripe strawberry, with herbal hints and a long, dry, fresh finish.
Don't mistake this for a poolside rosé — La Gazzara has the bones of a light red and the freshness of a rosé, a combination few Tuscan producers pull off.
