Vineyards are near Vinci on the western flank of the Chianti region. The soils here are albarese, compact clay and limestone. We like using the ‘Sangiovese Grosso’ fruit as it’s well suited to making a modern savoury style Rosato. Fruit was destemmed then crushed only slightly just puncturing the skin then sent to the press. Skin contact would take place for 2-4 hours depending on colour extraction. Pressed to tank for fermentation. Left on very fine lees. Pale salmon in colour, aromas of fennel and roses. The palate shows cherry, aniseed with fresh acidity and a clean dry finish.
The man behind the label is the talented Justin Bubb (today also known for his work in Tasmania, with his wife Anna Pooley at Pooley Vineyards). Justin cut his winemaking teeth working in Chianti and it was during his time in this region, working for a large company, that he realised he had an opportunity to produce some great value Italian wine for his home market. And so, Babo was born.
The key with BABO wines are the quality that you find in the glass. They are simply terrific and unbelievably fairly priced with the wines in the range truely over-delivering in terms of quality and value. From a very dry Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, Rosato, to Chianti and Sangiovese, the range of BABO wines truely does bring the elegance and purity of Italian vineyards for us to experience here in Australia.
Rosato (Rose) is generally a great food wine, naturally straddling the pairing strengths of white and red wines. Dry, not overly fruity, rosé is especially good for pairing with traditional pizza, light shelled fish pasta dishes or simple salsa’s – think buffalo mozzarella and tomato or melon and prosciutto through to Nicoise salads.
