Varvaglione 12 and mezzo Rosato del Salento IGP

A light rosé from Apulia's hot south – the 12 e mezzo (named after its alcohol content of 12.5% ​​vol.) shows what southern Italy can do in a glass: fresh, fruity, and easy to drink.

The Varvaglione winery was founded in 1921 in Leporano, province of Taranto, and has been family-owned for over 100 years. The vineyards are located in Salento , the peninsula in the far south of Apulia, where intense sunshine and sandy soils produce fully ripe grapes.

In the glass, a clear salmon pink. The nose reveals strawberry and raspberry , complemented by a hint of white blossom. On the palate, light-bodied with mild fruit sweetness and crisp freshness – a rosé that won't leave you feeling tired.
