- Typical of Pinot Grigio
Cranberry, citrus and red berries, with raspberry and other red fruit the notes people pick out most. The salmon colour comes from a cold soak of the crushed Pinot Grigio on its skins, each batch for a different length of time.
Light and dry, at 11% alcohol with only 3.5 grams of sugar per litre. The grapes grow north of Verona at 250 to 300 metres, where the cool climate keeps the acidity fresh. Red fruit leads, with grapefruit and lemon behind it.
Clean and citrusy. No oak is used at any stage, only temperature-controlled steel tanks, so nothing blurs the fruit at the end.
An easy-drinking rosé for spring and summer, named Sospiro, Italian for 'the sigh'. Drinkers give it a fair score, and red fruit is the note they mention most. Drink the 2025 in 2026 or 2027, while it is fresh.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Tomato, fish and chicken: dishes that suit Sospiro Pinot Grigio Blush
Fresh acidity from cool vineyards north of Verona cuts through tomato and chicken fat, and at 11% the wine never swamps a delicate plate. Salads, fish, light pasta, grilled chicken and pizza all suit it.
Tomato salads and pizza
The fresh acidity from cool vineyards north of Verona matches the sharpness of ripe tomato, so neither tastes sour. A light, dry Pinot Grigio rosé like Sospiro then lets the basil and mozzarella show. A Caprese salad or a Margherita is the easy match.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Pizza Margherita · Pizza Marinara · More pairings →
Salmon, tuna and shellfish
At 11% and light in body, this Pinot Grigio rosé weighs about the same as a piece of fish, so neither one drowns the other. Its citrus edge works like a squeeze of lemon on salmon or crab. A heavier red would bury the fish; this dry Veneto pink does not.
Try with: Salmon · Tuna · Crab · Mussels · More pairings →
Grilled and roast chicken
The acidity in this dry Pinot Grigio rosé cuts through chicken skin and fat and keeps each mouthful fresh. Its red-berry fruit adds a little lift to plain white meat. Grilled or barbecued chicken with a couscous salad is a summer plate that shows it well.
Try with: Roast chicken · Cotoletta alla Milanese · Chicken Shawarma
Fried Italian snacks
Salt makes the red-berry fruit in this light Pinot Grigio rosé taste rounder and juicier. The fresh acidity then rinses away the oil from fried dough. Arancini or gnocco fritto with a chilled glass of Sospiro make an easy aperitivo.
Try with: Arancini · Gnocco fritto · Panzerotti · Pizza Fritta · More pairings →
Hot curries and big red-meat dishes
Chilli heat flattens the delicate red-berry fruit of this light rosé and leaves only the acid. A rich braise or a steak simply swamps an 11% Pinot Grigio blush. For those dishes pick a fuller red from the Verona area, such as a Valpolicella Ripasso.

It is a light, dry rosé made from 100% Pinot Grigio, grown in vineyards north of Verona in the Veneto. It is 11% alcohol, sealed with a screw cap, and labelled as an IGT wine. Sospiro is Italian for 'the sigh'.
Because the crushed grapes rest on their skins in a cold soak before the juice ferments. Pinot Grigio skins range from grey-blue to brownish pink, so they tint the juice. Each batch soaks for a different time, and the batches are blended after fermentation so the salmon colour stays the same.
Cranberry, citrus and red berries, with raspberry and other red fruit the notes people pick out most. It is light and dry, with only 3.5 grams of sugar per litre, and vineyards at 250 to 300 metres keep the acidity fresh. No oak is used, so the fruit stays clean.
Salads, fish, light pasta, grilled chicken and pizza all suit it. Its fresh acidity stands up to tomato, and at 11% it never swamps a delicate plate. Keep it away from hot curries, which flatten its light red-berry fruit.
