Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé Wine 750mL

Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé

Sonoma County Rosé | 13.5% ABV | 750mL | 75% Sangiovese | Stainless Steel Fermented

Process & Profile

Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé is a crisp, fruit-driven Sonoma County rosé built primarily around Sangiovese. The current blend combines 75% Sangiovese, 14% Pinot Noir, and 11% Black Muscat, creating a vibrant balance of fresh red fruit, stone fruit, floral aromas, and refreshing acidity.

After harvest, the Sangiovese grapes are gently pressed with minimal skin contact, giving the wine its delicate pale pink color without extracting excessive tannin. Fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel to preserve freshness, bright fruit, and aromatic character.

The wine is bottled young rather than aged in oak, keeping strawberry, peach, melon, and citrus-like freshness at the center of the profile. At 13.5% ABV, Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé remains crisp and lively while carrying enough body to pair with a wide variety of foods.

What Makes It Special

Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé uses Sangiovese as the foundation rather than relying on more commonly seen rosé varieties. The grape contributes bright fruit and lively acidity, while Pinot Noir and Black Muscat add additional aroma, fruit character, and complexity.

The winemaking approach is intentionally focused on freshness. Minimal skin contact creates the pale rosé color, while stainless steel fermentation avoids adding oak flavors that could cover the wine's natural fruit and floral character.

Its combination of strawberry, peach, melon, subtle minerality, and crisp acidity makes it versatile enough for warm-weather sipping while still having enough structure to accompany a meal.

How to Enjoy

Serve Ferrari-Carano Dry Sangiovese Rosé well chilled to highlight its fresh fruit, floral aromas, and crisp acidity.

It pairs particularly well with seafood such as salmon, crab, and shrimp, as well as chicken, turkey, lamb, and lighter Mediterranean dishes. Fresh chèvre, Brie, and creamy cheeses also complement its fruit-forward character.

For casual occasions, it is an easy choice for brunch, picnics, outdoor dining, or serving alongside charcuterie and fresh summer dishes.
