On May 30, on the picturesque promenade of the new tourist port of Manfredonia, comes “La Puglia Rosè – La notte dei rosati,” a great tasting dedicated to the best of Italian rosé wine production. Accompanying visitors in the tastings with stories dedicated to rosé wine will be the producers themselves from the best wineries in 12 Italian regions (Puglia, Calabria, Abruzzo, Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany, Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Marche, Friuli, Sicily and Sardinia). An evening to celebrate the excellence of Italian rosé, a sector that is the protagonist of a 10-year growth trend (UIV-ISMEA Observatory) and that in 2025 marked a +5.7 percent increase in certified bottlings (Valoritalia, TESSA Report).

“We want to bring people closer to the world of rosé wine,” says Giuseppe Gentile, technical consultant of Puglia Rosé, “and break down the barriers that have always made it, in Italy, much more than elsewhere, a second-class wine. Puglia participates with a great palmares of level labels, but many Italian wineries make excellent rosés. We want to show that, starting with producers, experts and now consumers, rosé is a wine of great quality.”

Among the labels featured at Puglia Rosè many award-winning in various editions of the Concour Mondial de Bruxelles: Tenute Chiaromonte’s Kimia Rosato, one of the top rosés internationally, or Terzini, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Rosato – Tocco da Casauria, Grand Gold Medal in 2020 or Jasci & Marchesani, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Rosato, Italy’s best Rosé at the CMB in 2021, to name a few.

The program

Appointment May 30 from 7 p.m. on the Manfredonia marina promenade.

Planned during the afternoon is a blind tasting, accompanied by experts and producers from the wineries involved for a reasoned tasting, aimed at understanding and getting to know the wine better, and for those who do not believe that rosé is just a young wine, it will be possible to participate in an in-depth meeting on the best 12 vintage rosés selected for tasting. During the evening, there will be room for taste pairings thanks to the involvement of producers from the Slow Food circuit and the marina’s restaurateurs who will pair local excellences and specialties with the different shades of rosé.

“We focused on rosé wine,” says Maurizio Altomare, of Studio360, “because of its extraordinary versatility, its ability to marry well with different needs and different audiences. Thanks to its balance between freshness, structure and aromas, it naturally accompanies a wide range of dishes, ranging from light appetizers to more complex preparations. It is no coincidence that Puglia Rosé has met with enormous approval among Manfredonian restaurateurs.”
