Fedele Organic Rosé 2018

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is not your typical Rosé. It’s fruit-driven flavours along with a nice kick of acidity make this a great food wine. It is rich and full of flavour with a deep pink colour. Perfect when paired with BBQ, this wine will go oh so well with Summer meals. 

I love a glass of Italian wine, and I also love Rosé. So when a wine brings these two together, you know I’m going to love it. I haven’t posted about Rosé in a good couple of weeks (crazy I know) and so I thought it was about time to break the silence and bring you this deliciousness. It is technically Autumn, after all, so Rosé days are almost behind us! Unless you are me and you live by the notion of Rosé all year – because why not!

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is perfect for Summer meals

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is one of the wines I got in the Cellarmasters My Favourites Rosé subscription box, which you can read my review of here. It is a great option if you’re a Rosé lover like me because you receive a box of three types of Rosé and four bottles of each. This means you don’t have to hoard your bottles because there are plenty more where they came from! It also means you can try some great wines from across Australia and the world, all delivered to your door.

This wine is an Organic Rosé all the way from Trapani in Sicily. It is produced mainly from Nero d’Avola grapes which Sicily is known for. The grapes are picked earlier than those picked for red wines to retain the perfect level of acidity for making Rosé. The result? Well, the Italians may not have Provence, but they sure can produce a delicious Rosé!

Why I enjoyed it

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is lively and vibrant. You’ll first notice the colour of the wine, which is a lot darker, deeper and richer than those wines of Provence. This is a result of the Nero d’Avola grapes. On the nose, the wine is quite bright. There is plenty of fruit, especially red berries. Think strawberries and raspberries.

What I noticed about this wine was that it was definitely on the heavy side. It has a thicker flavour than your typical Rosé with plenty of red fruit. However, this is balanced out by a dry acidity upfront. It means that the wine really lingers in your mouth, but is still able to be refreshing.

The result? The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is a great food wine! Although it may be a bit heavy for some, it has the flavours and structure to really go well with a meal. This makes it perfect for warm evenings when you want something a bit heavier than seafood or salad, but you need a refreshing wine to match!

What to pair it with

So on to the food. I think this wine would go perfectly with BBQ. Its strong flavours would pair beautifully with grilled meats! You could also enjoy it with some charcuterie before dinner – think olives, cured meats and some strong cheese.

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is a perfect food wine, so make sure you enjoy it as the Italians do and pair it with a great meal!

The final word on the Fedele Organic Rosé 2018

The Fedele Organic Rosé 2018 is a great food wine that offers something different and unusual. It isn’t your typical Rosé, but it certainly isn’t trying to be! Best paired with food, this wine will really sing at a BBQ or with some cured meats. Those fruity flavours and acidic kick will come alive with your meal!
