Why is rosé wine pink?
There's a lot of talk about rosé wine. Many believe it's made by blending white and red wines (a practice prohibited by law), and this hasn't helped its reputation.
The color intensity of rosé wine and its aromas are essentially determined by the maceration on the skins of the red grapes used to produce these wines. But what are the colors of rosé wine? Rosé wine can range from pale pink, cherry red, to claret pink. To obtain a pale pink, maceration is required for very few hours, from 2 to 4, while for a cherry red the time can be up to 7-10 hours. For a very bright claret pink, maceration time can be up to 24 hours.
What are the best rosé wines?
Rosé wines can vary greatly in quality, depending on the production region, the grape variety used, and the winemaking techniques. Some highly regarded rosé wines come from France, particularly the Provence region, which produces light, fresh wines with red berry aromas and crisp acidity. Other high-quality rosé wines are produced in Italy, particularly Tuscany and Puglia, and in Spain, which produce more structured wines with greater aromatic complexity. Other regions renowned for their rosé wines include California, Portugal, and Australia.
It's important to note that the quality of a rosé wine depends on production techniques, climate conditions, and the grapes used. Therefore, it's difficult to make a list of the absolute best rosé wines, as it depends on individual tastes and preferences. However, some highly regarded rosé wines are:
- Château d'Esclans Whispering Angel (Provence, France)
- Domaine Tempier Bandol (Provence, France)
- Biserno Insoglio del Cinghiale Estate (Tuscany, Italy)
- Le Pupille Saffredi Farm (Tuscany, Italy)
- Quinta do Crasto Rosé (Douro, Portugal)
- Sandhi Santa Barbara County Rosé (California, USA)
- Penfolds Koonunga Hill Rosé (Barossa Valley, Australia)
It's recommended to try several rosé wines to discover which one you prefer, keeping in mind that some rosé wines are better enjoyed on their own, while others pair better with certain dishes. Generally speaking, rosé wines are ideal for summer, as they're fresh and light, but they can be enjoyed any time of year, depending on your personal taste.
What do you eat with rosé wine?
Rosé wine is a very versatile wine that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Because it has a slightly lower alcohol content than red wines and a slightly lighter structure, it is particularly suited to accompany light, fresh dishes, such as fish, white meat, and vegetables. Here are some ideas for pairing rosé wine with food:
- Fish: Rosé wine pairs well with light fish such as salmon, tuna, and sea bass, but also with oily fish such as mackerel and squid.
- White meat: Rosé wine is perfect to accompany white meat such as chicken, turkey, and rabbit.
- Vegetables: Rosé wine pairs well with grilled vegetables, especially red berries like tomatoes and eggplant.
- Cheeses: Rosé wine pairs well with light cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, and Roquefort.
- Salads: Rosé wine is perfect for accompanying summer salads, especially when dressed with an emulsion of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Rosé wine can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a light meal. In general, it's important to pair rosé wine with light, not overly flavorful foods to prevent the wine from being overpowered by the food's flavors. It's recommended to taste the wine before deciding on a pairing, so you can choose the dish that best complements its aromatic profile and balance.
