Ruffino, Aqua di Venus Rosé, Tuscany, Italy, 2019

True wine lovers shouldn't be overly influenced by packaging, but what a beauty this bottle is, inspired by Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Happily, This Tuscan rosé is a pleasure to drink too. A blend of Syrah, Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio, it's restrained and Provençal in style, bone-dry, with expressive aromas of citrus, cherry fruit, white flowers and some Mediterranean herbs. The Syrah lends structure. Not just a pretty face.
