Lammidia Miscela Rosato 2019

Miscela means "mixture" in Italian, and this wine lives up to the name. Lammidia's Davide Gentile and Marco Giuliani blend wines drawn from the lees of multiple tanks — amphora, fiberglass, and steel — producing a rosato that pulls from across the entire vintage. The result is part red, part white, part rosé, and entirely its own thing at just 10.5% ABV.

The grapes — Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Pecorino — each bring something specific: Montepulciano provides color and structure, Trebbiano delivers freshness and lift, and Pecorino contributes aromatics and acidity. Vines average around 25 years old and are grown in clay and limestone soils in the hills of Pescara province, at approximately 700 meters above sea level near Villa Celiera, inside the Gran Sasso National Park.

Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts. No sulfites are added at any stage. The wine is unfiltered and unfined, which means expect some cloudiness and natural sediment — both signs of an untouched, living wine.

This is a wine meant to be drunk cold, with food, without ceremony. It is energetic, tart, and low in alcohol — the kind of bottle that disappears before anyone notices it's gone.
