- Taste profile
Dry and crisp: fermented cool in steel with no malolactic, so the acidity stays bright and the 12% alcohol light. Wild strawberry and white melon fill a delicate, savoury mid-palate, carrying the saline, mineral edge of the coastal Magliano vineyards. Falstaff called the 2024 juicy and balanced.
The close is clean and saline, with the salty, stony lift Falstaff noted and good length rather than weight.
Frescobaldi's flagship rosé from Tenuta Ammiraglia, an elegant aperitivo style the Vivino crowd rates 4.1 from over 11,000 ratings. Built to drink young and well chilled.

Pale, crisp and fruit-forward with no tannin or oak, an easy, crowd-friendly rosé that asks nothing of a new drinker.
Dry, 12% and under £20, a textbook everyday summer rosé to keep chilled for warm-weather drinking.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Saline rosé for Tuscan seafood and aperitivo
Alìe's grapefruit acidity and saline minerality bridge Maremma shellfish, Insalata Caprese and tomato-led pizza, the aperitivo role Frescobaldi designed it for.
Tomato-led antipasti and pizza
Alìe's refreshing acidity, the trait Falstaff singled out, mirrors the bright acidity of tomato. It keeps fresh mozzarella and a Margherita base lively without fighting the fruit.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Pizza Margherita · Pappa al Pomodoro · More pairings →
Maremma shellfish and brine
The saline, mineral edge from the coastal Magliano vineyards meets briny shellfish on its own terms, while the crisp acidity refreshes between bites of mussels and seafood fregola.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
Herb-and-citrus Mediterranean fish
Grapefruit and Mediterranean-herb aromatics bridge to herbed, citrus-dressed fish. The wine echoes the dish's lemon and oregano rather than masking the delicate flesh.
Try with: Pesce spada alla Siciliana · Polpo alla pignata · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
Fresh cheese and cold cuts
Bright acidity and a light 12% body cut the cream of fresh cheese and the richness of a tuna-veal sauce, resetting the palate the way a chilled aperitivo rosé should.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Vitello Tonnato · Gnocco fritto · More pairings →
Light summer plates and aperitivo
This is a delicate, subtle rosé, not a structured one, so it sits beside light summer plates without overpowering them. Frescobaldi built Alìe as an aperitivo wine and it shows.
Try with: Vitello Tonnato · Focaccia Genovese · Insalata Caprese · More pairings →
Heavy red-meat roasts and fiery spice
A pale, 12% coastal rosé has no tannin or weight to stand up to slow-cooked red meat or chilli heat. Big roasts flatten its delicate fruit and fierce spice scorches its acidity.
