The 2019 Malabaila di Canale Langhe Rosato is spicy, almost savory, as dusty florals waft up from the glass, giving way to crushed stone minerality, peppery herbs, and young strawberry. It floods the palate, soft yet energetic, with crisp floral-laced fruits, as a note of grapefruit citrus complements flavors of ripe yellow apple and zesty spice. It finishes with medium length, as brisk acids sizzle on the senses with a tug of tart citrus.

Bright pink-orange. Delicately musky aromas of fresh red berries, sour red cherry, and herbs, with an earthy undertone. Clean and well-balanced, this lightweight offers tangy but very straightforward redcurrant and floral flavors, with decent lift and cut. The medium-long finish features a subtle juiciness and plenty of early appeal.

The 2023 Rosato is exuberant and deeply floral, like sticking your nose directly into a rosebush. Nebbiolo's structure is tamed a bit here, as this Rosato is a bit rounder and weightier than others in its peer group. Sweet, bright red cherry fruit and lick of salty seawater keep this from getting too bogged down. And yes, there it is - that classic varietal tannin structure poking its head out of the red-licorice-tinged finish. Lovely.
