Adria Vini, ‘Ancora’ Chiaretto Rosé, 2025, Monferrato (DOC)

'One-Liner'
A bright and versatile Piedmontese rosé with fresh strawberries, redcurrants and juicy cherry fruit – crisp, dry and wonderfully easy-going.

Tasting Note
Fresh strawberry and redcurrant lead into ripe raspberry, red plum and juicy cherry, with a delicate floral note bringing lift to the fruit. Light and lively on the palate, with Barbera’s naturally bright acidity giving the wine a crisp, mouth-watering shape while Pinot Nero adds softness and gentle fragrance. Dry, refreshing and neatly balanced, it finishes with lingering red berries and a subtle citrus freshness.

The Story
Adria Vini was established in 2003 as a collaboration between Boutinot and the Piedmontese cooperative Araldica Castelvero, with winemakers Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese overseeing a range built around Italy’s regional grapes and everyday drinking traditions. Ancora Chiaretto brings together Barbera and Pinot Nero from the hills of Monferrato, combining Barbera’s lively acidity and vivid cherry character with Pinot Nero’s softer texture and fragrant red fruit. The result is a straightforward but characterful rosé – bright enough for relaxed summer drinking, but with the fruit and freshness to sit comfortably alongside food.
