Is that a red? is that a rose? Yes indeed it is not the common pale pink that we are all used to be!  Cerasulo is the DOC create in 2010 for the former "Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo" For the region, it is less confusing! 
To reach this beautifull color, they reduce consistantly the skin contact and the red skin grape. 
The wine has a fruity profile with zippy acidity from a combination of sun, altitude and cool mountain breezes. The best examples are structured more like red wines, showcasing tannins and intense red fruit flavours yet astonishing freshness at the same time. Unlike many rosés, this makeup makes these wines able to age for a few years. 
According to "Decanter" this rose is a "serious" rose for people who really enjoy the style and are aslo able to enjoy a good red wine. 
By far, my favorite rose !
