Rosa dei Venti Marche Rosato IGT – 2025

Rosa dei Venti Marche Rosato IGT 2025, a fresh summer rosé made from Sangiovese

The Rosa dei Venti Marche Rosato IGT 2025 from Azienda Guerrieri is a dry rosé made from Sangiovese, with brief skin contact for a delicate salmon pink hue. Notes of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and a zesty, refreshing finish.

Rosa dei Venti Marche Rosato IGT 2025 by Azienda Guerrieri is the estate’s carefree summer wine, named after the compass rose that determines the wind over land and sea on the Adriatic coast. Light, fruity, and made for balmy evenings on the terrace, for friends, and for dishes that don't need a grand stage.

Brief contact, plenty of freshness

For the Rosa dei Venti, the Sangiovese grapes are harvested early and left on the skins for only a few hours, according to Maria Giulia Guerrieri—just enough to give the wine its delicate salmon color without making it heavy.

After gentle pressing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, completely without oak contact, so that the fruit remains at the forefront and the acidity stays zesty. Unlike the Guerriero del Mare, no wood is used here; the Rosa dei Venti is intended to remain young and carefree.

The grapes come from the same hills above the Metauro Valley as the estate's red Sangiovese wines, just destined for a completely different, lighter wine. A portion of the harvest is set aside early for the Rosato, while the rest remains on the vine significantly longer for the red wines.

Wild strawberry, pomegranate, zesty finish

In the glass, the Rosa dei Venti reveals a delicate salmon pink, with aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and a hint of white blossoms. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy, and zesty, with a short, refreshing finish.

This rosé shows its strength when paired with grilled vegetables, light fish, or a light antipasti platter, though you can just as easily drink it solo on the terrace. Serve well-chilled at 8 to 10 degrees, or keep it in a bucket with some ice if the evening stays warm.

From our own assortment, a plate of Penne Rigate made from Senatore Cappelli with zucchini and lemon is a great match, followed by a spoonful of Miele di Acacia drizzled over mild goat cheese.

The Guerrieri family's summer wine

The Guerrieri family has been farming their estate on the Metauro since around 1800, now in the 6th generation under Luca Guerrieri and his children, Alberto and Maria Giulia. Of the 207 hectares, 48 are dedicated to vines, all farmed using natural methods since 2004.

Alongside the estate's powerful red wines and aged white wines, the Rosa dei Venti is the most uncomplicated in the range, intended for immediate enjoyment rather than the cellar. It is best drunk young, preferably within the first year after harvest, while its freshness is still at its peak.

Those who wish to discover the full breadth of Guerrieri wines will find not only this rosé but also the estate's more powerful red wines and aged white wines in the Azienda Guerrieri wine collection, ranging from the young Colli Pesaresi to the aged Galileo Riserva.
