How We're Celebrating National Rosé Day
As if you need an excuse to drink more Rosé, between weekends in the Hampton’s, or rooftop sunsets, it’s our favorite time of year. National Wine Day is June 8th, and these 13 carefully -selected wines will help you know exactly what to drink on this holiday, or all Summer all long.
Vito Palumbo, Brand Manager for Tormaresca states “I'll say something you're not supposed to say: In the case of rosé, I’d be more willing to judge a book by its cover! More than other wines, a rosé really stands for a mood, an energy, and a setting. I would trust a brand who knows that, and I believe that their attention to aesthetic details also speaks to their attention to the way the wine is made, and the experience it will evoke for you. I like to think of our Calafuria label as the first sip; an aesthetic introudction to the wine's soul: filled with the crisp fresh air of the adriatic coast, drenched in the soft southern italian sun, with strong identity, and alot of fun. We want to share that feeling with you, from the first visual experience of the label, to uncorking and enjoying.”
Below are 13 ways you should celebrate the holiday.
The nose enchants with juicy scents of cherry and strawberry. In the mouth it is fresh and smooth with a long fruity finish. Perfect for Summer nights out on the beach.
Stemmari Rosé is produced from the Sicilian varietal of Nero d’Avola. Its beautiful rosé color is a result of a cold maceration and soft pressing process that extracts the color from the grapes. Stemmari Rosé pairs universally with an assortment of summer appetizers as well as light vegetables or white meat dishes.
The wine is a brilliant orange-yellow rose petal color with a very fine, profuse and sustained mousse. The nose is characterized by small red berries, mainly currant. On the palate the wine is vigorous and well balanced. A fine, fresh, fruity wine with well-integrated tannins and a hint of spice on the lengthy finish.
The 2018 vintage of Calafuria is a rose petal pink in color with intense aromas of pomegranate, peach and grapefruit on the nose.

Meiomi Rosé is delicately pink in color and delightfully drive with vibrant acidity. With aromas of watermelon, orange peel, and subtle hints of rose petal on the nose, the palate offers lush flavors of stone fruit and strawberry with a cool minerality on the finish.
