Furia 2023
Hailing from Salento in Puglia, the 2023 Rosato Furía di Calafuria is elegantly balanced and lively. Sweet red apple and just-ripe strawberry play against a nicely buffering phenolic grip and salty mineral density. The nose is a hair shy, but I can forgive that, as it’s particularly fun in the mouth—just juicy enough to ensure that everything stays in its right place. A distinctive sour orange note hangs around after the surprisingly lengthy finish. Well done.
