2024 Il Mostro Longana Rosato Frizzante

From: Abruzzo, Italy Varietal: 100% Montepulciano Tasting Notes: Aromas of red berries, spices, flowers, and herbs float from the glass. The wine is juicy and dry on the palate with bright notes of strawberry, cherry, and peach to complement the its fresh, chalky texture and nuances of underbrush on the finish. Firm acid holds it all together to make it the exciting glass of sparkling rosé. Pairing: This wine will pair well with a variety of foods, including light appetizers, salads, and seafood dishes. Try pairing it with anything from goat cheese and arugula salad to grilled vegetable skewers, to a light grazing board with cheese and cured meats. For heartier options, consider serving the wine alongside a mushroom risotto or a classic burger and fries. Goat’s milk cheeses, including ricotta, are plentiful in Abruzzo where this wine comes from; with that in mind as inspiration, we’re sharing the following pizza recipe.
