Nose

Pale pink with a peach tint. The nose leads with grapefruit and citrus rind over wild strawberry and raspberry, the red and citrus fruit Vivino's 11,000-plus reviewers flag most. Frescobaldi adds floral rose and elderflower, lifted by a hint of Maremma sea breeze.

Palate

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.

Finish

The close is clean and saline, with the salty, stony lift Falstaff noted and good length rather than weight.

Overall

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.

Wine fit score

How Alìe scores for food, value and everyday drinking

A dry, 12% coastal rosé under £20 scores high for versatile food matching and everyday drinking, and low for cellaring.

Best with food 8.4/10

A dry, saline, high-acid coastal rosé that runs from aperitivo through shellfish to tomato antipasti, one of the most food-flexible styles on the list.

Best intro to this style 8.2/10

Pale, crisp and fruit-forward with no tannin or oak, an easy, crowd-friendly rosé that asks nothing of a new drinker.

Best everyday bottle 8.2/10

Dry, 12% and under £20, a textbook everyday summer rosé to keep chilled for warm-weather drinking.

Best value 7.4/10

At about £15 the entry price undercuts most premium-brand Provence-style rosé, fair to good value for a single-estate Frescobaldi wine.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our editorial methodology.

Frescobaldi calls 2025 a balanced, quality Maremma season: a mild, rainy winter, a hot June and July, then September rain. The result is a pale pink, savoury and fresh Alìe for drinking over the next couple of summers.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

What sits behind a £15 Frescobaldi rosé

Single-estate fruit from Frescobaldi's Tenuta Ammiraglia at Magliano, whole-bunch soft pressing and the landmark Piero Sartogo cellar sit behind Alìe's UK shelf price.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.

Toscana is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

What sits behind the price of Frescobaldi Alie Rose

Tracked from
£14.90
Direction
Mostly cost up
Drivers
4 up / 2 down
Main factor
Estate fruit from Tenuta Ammiraglia's coastal vineyards
  1. 01

    Estate fruit from Tenuta Ammiraglia's coastal vineyards

    Cost up

    Frescobaldi grows the Syrah and Vermentino on its own Maremma estate at Magliano by the Tyrrhenian sea, so the fruit is single-estate rather than cheaper bought-in grapes.

  2. 02

    Whole-bunch soft pressing and long must settling

    Cost up

    Whole bunches are pressed gently in an oxygen-free press, the must is decanted for at least 12 hours, then fermented cool below 19C in steel, a careful low-throughput method.

  3. 03

    Frescobaldi brand and the Piero Sartogo cellar

    Cost up

    The Frescobaldi name and the landmark Ammiraglia winery designed by architect Piero Sartogo carry a brand premium reflected in the roughly £15 to £21 UK price.

  4. 04

    Toscana IGT, not a mandated-ageing DOCG

    Cost down

    As a Toscana IGT rosé with just three months in steel and no oak, Alìe avoids the barrel and long cellar costs that push Tuscan DOCG reds far higher.

  5. 05

    UK alcohol duty and VAT

    Cost up

    At 12% the wine carries £2.67 HMRC still-wine duty plus 20% VAT, roughly £5 of a £15 UK bottle before the retailer's own margin.

  6. 06

    Widely distributed flagship rosé

    Cost down

    Alìe is Frescobaldi's high-volume flagship rosé, with over 11,000 Vivino ratings, and that scale keeps its price below boutique Maremma rosés.

Perfect Pairings

Dishes that complement this wine

Food Pairing

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.

Acidity matching Strong match

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 →

Salt balance Strong match

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 →

Aromatic bridge Good match

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 →

Fat cutting Good match

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 →

Body matching Good match

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 →

Avoid Clash

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.

Skip with: Fiorentina steak · Beef wellington · Pizza Diavola · vindaloo · Pairing guide →

Drinking + cellar

Drinking Alìe: a rosé for the year, not the cellar

With three months on fine lees in steel and no oak, Alìe is built to drink young. Enjoy the current release within a couple of summers of the vintage.

Drinking window
2025 → 2028

Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.

Cellar potential
Low

Made for freshness, just three months on lees in steel and no oak, so it offers no cellaring upside and should be drunk young.

Common Questions

Alìe is mostly Syrah with a small share of Vermentino, around 95% to 5%, grown at Frescobaldi's Tenuta Ammiraglia near the Tuscan coast and bottled as Toscana IGT.

It is a dry, pale pink rosé with a peach tint. Expect grapefruit, wild strawberry, peach and white flowers, a crisp light body at 12% alcohol, and a saline, mineral finish.

Serve it as an aperitivo or with Mediterranean seafood such as mussels and Sicilian swordfish, Insalata Caprese, fresh cheese and tomato-led pizza. Avoid heavy red meat and fiery spice.

Drink it young, ideally within two to three years of the vintage. It sees only three months on fine lees in steel with no oak, so it is built for freshness, not cellaring.

It is widely stocked in Britain, currently from about £15 up to £21 across the retailers tracked on this page, in standard 75cl bottles.

Serve it well chilled at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. As a dry, delicate aperitivo rosé it shows best young, fresh from the fridge on a warm day.
