2023 Tiberio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Italian Rosé Wine V92 Rated

Tiberio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo 2023 Rosé Wine

Crafted by Tiberio in Italy’s sun-drenched Abruzzo region, this vibrant Montepulciano rosé offers a refreshing escape for wine lovers seeking bold yet balanced flavors. With a striking translucent ruby hue in the glass—a hallmark of its meticulous production—the 2023 vintage captivates from first sight. On the nose, delicate rose petals mingle with bright red berry aromas of raspberry and wild cherry, complemented by subtle hints of pomegranate and earthy crushed stones that add complexity without overwhelming.

The palate bursts with juicy freshness thanks to its crisp acidity and ripe berry flavors—think tangy cranberry alongside sweet red cherry—while a mineral-driven core provides depth and texture reminiscent of Italian terroir. Savory spice undertones evolve gracefully into a lingering floral finish marked by violet undertones and a faintly bitter edge that leaves your taste buds invigorated rather than fatigued. At 14% alcohol by volume, it strikes an ideal balance between approachable elegance and structured richness.

Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like herb-roasted chicken or tomato-based pasta sauces where its bright acidity cuts through richness while its mineral accents enhance savory flavors. Unlike lighter rosés that fade quickly on the palate, this wine’s layered profile shines alongside white meats or even grilled vegetables for a Mediterranean-inspired meal.

With accolades including 92 points from Vinous praising its “filigree feel” and Ian D’gata noting its “fruit-forward power,” this Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo stands out among Italian rosés for its versatility and aging potential (cellar-worthy until 2031). Whether enjoyed poolside during summer months or paired with bold dishes year-round, Tiberio’s 2023 vintage delivers exceptional value for fans of dry rosé wines with depth and character.
