Reviews of the 2025 Rosato:

Young vines of Sangiovese blended with Aglianico makes for a sensible start to Hither & Yon’s Rosato adventures. Cranberries, red cherries and Pink Lady apple skin. Strings of paper bark and cold peach tea. In Rosato style, it’s dry with some grainy texture. There is some middle palate flesh that plays nicely against the thick ruby grapefruit pith. A lovely way to enjoy brunch, as this wine will work with fruit, fresh cheese and sheets of smoked salmon too. Drink now-2027.

74/26% aglianico/sangiovese from the home Sand Road vineyard. A burnt orange tone and a savoury cast. Redcurrant and pomegranate, sour cherry, cool peach, rose, rhubarb and red apple skin. This is firmly pitched to the table. More power to that. There’s abundant fruit and flavour, but there’s a linearity of structure, fine tannin and acid in league, intertwined. Bring the food and it will sing.

This rosé-style was made with Aglianico and Sangiovese grapes. This is fresh, juicy and crisp but it also has good spread (of flavour) through the finish, which is always the surest sign of quality. Red cherry, fennel, watermelon and an array of fragrant, Italian herb characters – and a flash of blood orange too – all make for highly enjoyable drinking.
