A dry Tuscan rosé from La Spinetta's Casanova estate: equal parts Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile, three months on the lees in steel. Fresh and delicate, with citrus, wild strawberry and a saline, herb-brushed lift. Toscana IGT, around £17.
Equal parts Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile, fermented and rested about three months on the lees in steel: no oak, all freshness. The estate frames it as floral and citrus-led with a Mediterranean-scrub edge; drinkers echo a wild-strawberry, saline style.
Pale onion-skin pink, with a floral, citrus-led bouquet the estate itself ties to Mediterranean scrub: orange blossom and rose petal over pink grapefruit and crushed wild strawberry. A herbal, almost saline edge reflects the sandy, sediment-rich soils at Casanova.

White peachEqual Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile, pressed soft with only brief skin contact, so colour and tannin stay light. Three months on the fine lees in steel build a delicate, lightly creamy mid-palate, while the all-embracing acidity the producer describes keeps it taut and dry. Redcurrant and citrus pith carry through.
Clean and citrus-fresh, closing on a saline, mineral snap rather than fruit sweetness, with no oak to blur it.
A fresh, food-friendly Tuscan rosé pitched at the table rather than the cellar, sitting below La Spinetta's Sangiovese reds in the organic Casanova range. Vivino drinkers rate it a steady 3.9 across vintages from more than 900 ratings, consistently flagging it as an easy, well-made aperitivo style. Drink the 2025 young and chilled.
The current 2025 vintage lists with three UK merchants between about £17 and £21. It is a steel-aged, current-release rosé, so buy it for drinking now rather than the cellar.
Scored on six axes from its price of about £17, its Toscana IGT classification and its fresh, low-tannin, steel-aged style. It is strong on food and everyday drinking, weak on cellaring and occasion.
Bright acidity, no tannin and a light body make it an unusually flexible table and aperitivo wine across antipasti, seafood and fresh cheese.
An easy, dry, low-tannin rosé from Italy's signature Sangiovese, approachable and food-friendly with no oak or bitterness to navigate.
A versatile dry rosé under £20 that suits midweek meals and warm-weather aperitivo; only the £17 price keeps it from a top everyday score.
At about £17 it is priced above everyday IGT rosé but in line with named-producer Tuscan rosé; the La Spinetta pedigree and organic estate fruit justify the premium.

La Spinetta's Casanova della Spinetta estate sits at Terricciola in the Pisan hills, with organically farmed, 20-year-old vines on sandy soils rich in oceanic sediments at 250 metres.
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.
Toscana falls within Tuscany , covering Tuscany.
Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile from the family's organically farmed Casanova estate at 250 m, not bought-in bulk fruit; that estate sourcing sits behind the roughly £17 price.
The rosé sees only stainless steel for about three months, so there is no barrel or long-cellar cost to carry, keeping it far below La Spinetta's Barbaresco pricing.
Average production of around 120,000 bottles spreads fixed estate and cellar costs, helping hold the UK shelf price near £17.
An IGT rosé carries none of the mandated ageing or yield limits of a Brunello or Chianti Classico DOCG, so the classification keeps it entry-level.
UK excise duty on a still wine is about £2.67 a bottle at 2026 rates, with 20% VAT charged on top; together they take a large share of the roughly £17 shelf price.
Dishes that complement this wine
Bright acidity and a light, tannin-free body make this a flexible aperitivo and antipasti rosé. It leans Italian: tomato, fresh cheese, salumi, fried antipasti and lighter seafood.
The wine's all-embracing acidity matches the acidity in tomato, so a Margherita or a caprese tastes brighter rather than sharp. With no tannin to clash, it sits cleanly against fresh mozzarella.
Try with: Pizza Margherita · Insalata Caprese · Pizza Marinara · bruschetta al pomodoro · More pairings →
A light body and crisp acidity cut the fat of cured meats and fried dough, refreshing the palate between bites. Gnocco fritto with prosciutto is the classic Emilian match.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · prosciutto crudo · salumi misti · fritto misto · More pairings →
Its citrus and saline snap echoes the brine of shellfish and white fish, and the delicate body never overwhelms them. Vivino drinkers reach for it with shellfish and lean fish most often.
Try with: Spaghetti alle vongole · grilled prawns · sea bass · prawn risotto · More pairings →
A delicate, low-tannin body matches mild, milky cheeses and lightly dressed vegetables without flattening them, while the red-fruit lift adds interest. Caprese and young pecorino both work.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · pecorino fresco · grilled courgettes · panzanella · More pairings →
The wine's own Mediterranean-scrub and citrus aromatics bridge to rosemary, thyme and good olive oil, so herb-brushed focaccia or roast chicken with herbs feels seamless.
Try with: Focaccia Genovese · roast chicken with herbs · herb frittata · olive-oil crostini · More pairings →
A delicate 12% rosé is overwhelmed by chilli heat, heavy barbecue char and sugary desserts, which leave it tasting thin and tart. Save those for a tannic red like Chianti Classico or a sweet Vin Santo.
Skip with: vindaloo · sticky barbecue ribs · chocolate torte · blue cheese · Pairing guide →
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
