- Typical of Pinot Grigio
Ripe cherry and strawberry lead. Behind them sit rose petal and grapefruit zest, with a faint stony edge. The pink colour and the red-fruit register both come from ten hours on Pinot Grigio's coppery skins.
Light and gently off-dry: there is a clear soft sweetness before the citrus freshness shows up. At 11% it stays easy and quenching rather than rich. Cool fermentation in steel at 18 to 19 degrees keeps everything about fresh fruit.
Short and clean, closing on grapefruit zest and a whisper of that stony note rather than sugar.
An easy, softly sweet summer rosato from the Novità range Cevico makes with winemaker Enrico Salvatori: pleasant rather than profound, which at this price is the brief. Serve it very cold, as the aperitif style it is.
Buying the Blush: two vintages in stock
Great Wines Direct has both the 2024 and the 2025 at £11.63 under screwcap; UK independents such as Strictly Wine also carry the label.
How the Blush scores as a buy
Scored on its £11.63 price, 11% strength, screwcap convenience and its place as the pink, off-dry corner of the Novità range.
Off-dry, pale pink, light at 11% and under a screwcap: about as approachable as Italian wine gets.
Low alcohol, a screwcap and an £11-12 price make it an easy weeknight and picnic pour.
Made for the lighter half of the table: salads, fried seafood, mild spice and the aperitif hour. Rich mains and strong cheese defeat it.
At £11.63 you get a branded, screwcap DOC rosato: fair summer value rather than a bargain.
A picnic and barbecue wine, not a statement one; for a celebratory pink, step up to a Franciacorta rosé.
Tank-made, screwcapped and rested only briefly before bottling; it is built to be drunk in the year you buy it.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Aperitifs, salads and gentle spice: where it fits
Chilled as an aperitif or with light dishes is the simple brief. The rows below add the structural logic: soft sweetness against sweet-sour and mild heat, freshness against oil and cream.
Sweet-and-sour dishes and mild spice
Its own soft sweetness sits level with sweet-and-sour sauces, and the low 11% alcohol keeps mild chilli heat from flaring. This is where an off-dry blush beats a bone-dry rosé.
Try with: Sweet and sour prawns · Salt and pepper prawns · mild Thai noodle salad · More pairings →
Fried seafood and light batter
Grapefruit-zest freshness scrubs frying oil from the palate, and the wine's light body never sits heavier than the food.
Try with: Prawn Tempura · calamari · fish goujons · More pairings →
Summer salads and soft cheeses
Fresh acidity lifts creamy mozzarella and tomato, and the strawberry register echoes a salad's sweeter notes.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · goat's cheese salad · panzanella · More pairings →
The aperitif hour
Chilled as an aperitif or with light dishes is exactly where it belongs. At 11% it opens an evening without shortening it.
Try with: marinated olives · crisps and dips · prosciutto e melone
Big, rich mains and strong cheese
A light off-dry blush disappears next to steak, ragù or blue cheese. For those plates pour a proper red instead, a medium-bodied Chianti, and keep this bottle for the sunshine slots.
Skip with: Ribeye steak · Ragu alla bolognese · Blue cheese · Pairing guide →
Nothing to cellar: drink it cold and young
Tank-made, screwcapped and rested only briefly before bottling, this blush is about fruit purity, not development. Buy for the season, not the cellar.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Pour it straight from the bottle.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Tank-made, screwcapped and rested only briefly before bottling; it is built to be drunk in the year you buy it.
£11.63 for a 75cl bottle of the 2025, at Great Wines Direct, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
Novità is a brand made by Cevico, the large wine co-operative group from Emilia-Romagna, with Enrico Salvatori as winemaker. The group has over 6,700 hectares of vines. It is a multi-region range rather than a single estate, and this blush comes from the delle Venezie DOC zone.
Off-dry. Strictly Wine's spec sheet places it at 3 on the dryness scale: a clear soft sweetness up front, then fresh citrus. It is sweeter than a Provence-style rosé but nowhere near a dessert wine.
Pinot Grigio grapes have coppery-pink skins. This wine spends about ten hours on those skins before pressing, which tints it pale pink and adds the red-fruit notes. Cool steel fermentation then keeps it fresh.
Ripe cherries and strawberries, with rose petal, grapefruit zest and a stony hint. Light-bodied, gently sweet and fresh at 11%.
Chilled as an aperitif or with light dishes. Its soft sweetness also suits sweet-and-sour and mildly spiced plates, fried seafood and summer salads.
