Luigi Lauria
Guarnaccino Rosé Blend
Basilicata, Italy
Last night i organised a little tasting with wines from the Mt Pollino district
Well, i might or might not agree with the crowd, but this rosé killed the other two wines in popularity
Probably you don't finish the night and take with you a cerebral memory of it, but you will associate the fun of the moments with this juice for sure
It's a winner, easy to love, charming and it has a story too
Guarnaccino is, in fact, a unique expression of the Chiaramonte terroir, Luigi Lauria had found in 2006 twenty vines(lSt remaining apparently)of it among the variety existing in the local fields.
Now he looks after about 5 hectares and in 2013 the Guarnaccino was register as the only indigenous grape of Basilicata
The wine is very straightforward: fruit, freshness and a mineral vein
Instructions: chill it, pour it and drink it
Result: great vibe surrounding the area
As a wine thinker i might argue that isn't superlong, but i must agree that it gets to the people and that matters indeed

@Delectable Wine actually Guarnaccino is a red variet, but this wine was made white with no skin contact.
Only 1700btls produced
Interesting, even though i had preferred the rosato. White mulberries, citrussy apples, lots of flowers and herbs. Fairly long. Not pretentious.

I went to an Enoteca to look for work and ended up leaving with a mixed 6 packed box of wine
Guarnaccino, they told me, is the real only indigenous grape of Basilicata🤷♂️🤔....
However the story is..yes there is a story...
I got invited at a friend of mine's house for a glass of wine...he lives in the NP, surrounded by the forest and mountains... he pulls a rope from the creek(yes there's a creek in the property) with a cold , hanging bottle of rose self produced andhe says...ah, the grapes come from Chiaromonte, i do nothing, i wait a week for yeasts to do their work, then i wait more till the wine is good, Chiaromonte is wine territory, good wine, let's see what you think....the wine was delicious, refreshing and crisp drank out of shot glasses.
Well when i saw this very first bottle of rose from Chiaramonte i grabbed it at once, before i was told about the indigenous grape thing, but it fits somehow in the plot
Anyway i am very happy to see that out of this region we have marvellous wines that are unknown to the mainstream, but they are there available for you to enjoy.
This rose screams joy, it's crisp, clean and long and so easy to drink that it looks like it evaporates
