2021 Cerasuolo, Tiberio, Abruzzo
Though technically a rosé, this Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is verging on red and packed full of character. One of the great value wines on our list, this punches well above its weight with stimulating notes of cassia, pomegranate, crushed stone and zesty citrus. There’s gorgeous phenolics here too; the wine tapers off into a grippy and mouthwatering finale that will have you begging for another sip. The vibrant, eye-catching colour comes from Cristiana Tiberio’s exclusive use of free run juice and there’s a purity and expressiveness that belies the very modest price point. Absolutely magnificent.
