Not everyone will love this Aglianico-based rosé from volcanic soils in Basilicata, but most will find its sweet marzipan aromas quite attractive.

Cantine del Notaio 2003 Il Rogito Rosato Aglianico (Basilicata)
- $21
A rosé so red it could pass as a Pinot Noir. The nose has cassis, cherry, strawberry and toasted notes and a prominent balsam tail. Aglianico is naturally high in malic acid and you can taste that crispness here. Not unbalanced, but not tightly knit, either. A Marc De Grazia Selection, various importers.
