Rocca di Montemassi Syrosa 75cl

Bright, food-friendly, and way more interesting than your average pink pour, this Tuscan rosé brings real flavour without turning into a wine lecture. Syrah is the star here, so you get fruit, a touch of savoury edge, and a dry finish that makes it dangerously easy to drink.

• Appearance: Vivid rosé pink, clear and lively in the glass.
• Nose: Fresh strawberries, watermelon, and pink grapefruit, with a faint herbal lift that keeps it crisp.
• Taste: Juicy red berries up front, then citrus peel and a subtle peppery hint from the Syrah, with bright acidity that makes food taste better.
• Body: Medium-bodied for a rosé, so it doesn’t disappear the second you take a bite.
• Finish: Clean, dry, and gently savoury, with red fruit lingering just long enough to make you go back in.

This is the rosé you grab when you want something refreshing but not flimsy. It’s got that coastal-Tuscany energy, sunny fruit, sea-breeze freshness, and a little grip that stands up to real snacks (think grilled chicken, charcuterie, tomato pasta, or spicy-ish dishes). It also nails that “bring to a dinner and everyone asks what it is” sweet spot, because it drinks easy but still has layers to talk about.

If you’re used to rosé that’s all fruit and no structure, this one feels more grown-up. Syrah gives it a bit of depth and a faint peppery edge, so you get more than just pink and cold. The dryness keeps it sharp, the acidity keeps it lively, and the whole thing stays clean from first sip to last.

Fun Fact: Rocca di Montemassi is based in Maremma, a wilder corner of coastal Tuscany known for sea-breezy vineyards and bold reds, so it’s no surprise their rosé shows a little extra attitude.
