Antinori Calafuria Rosato 2023 – Seductive rosé wine from Puglia

Antinori Calafuria Rosato 2023 captures the essence of southern Italy’s sun, sea and joie de vivre in one elegant and irresistible rosé wine. A fresh, refined and extremely charming wine from Puglia, created for those who love lightness, finesse and true Italian temperament in the glass.

The wine comes from the Tormaresca estate, beautifully situated along the coast of Salento, where the cooling breezes of the Adriatic Sea meet limestone and clay soils. The combination of climate, terroir and the Antinori family’s uncompromising approach to quality creates a rosé that stands out from the crowd.

Calafuria Rosato is made from 100% Negroamaro – a classic and characterful grape from the area – vinified with great precision to preserve the fresh fruit, delicate aromas and elegant structure of the grape. The result is a modern rosé with depth, personality and impressive balance.

The taste of Southern Italy – freshness and finesse in perfect harmony

In the glass, the wine presents itself with a beautiful, delicate salmon color. The aroma is intense and inviting with notes of wild strawberries, ripe raspberries, white peaches and delicate hints of citrus and flowers.

In the mouth, Calafuria Rosato is silky and fresh with a lively, precise acidity that lifts the fruit and provides an elegant, mineral finish. The chalky soil adds structure while the influence of the sea maintains the wine’s natural suppleness and lightness.

A versatile rosé that is perfect as an aperitif, with seafood, light pasta dishes, salads or as pure enjoyment on the terrace on a warm summer evening.

History of the house – Marchesi Antinori

Behind Calafuria Rosato is Marchesi Antinori, one of the world’s most iconic wine families with more than 600 years of wine tradition. The family has been producing wine since 1385 and through 26 generations has helped shape both Italian and international wine production.

The Antinori family is known for combining respect for tradition with the courage to innovate. It was this approach that revolutionized the wine world in the 1970s with the launch of Tignanello – the first Super Tuscan. Today, the house is run by Albiera, Allegra and Alessia Antinori, with their father, Piero Antinori, as honorary president.

Calafuria Rosato is a shining example of the Antinori philosophy: authentic terroir, technical perfection and wines created for pure enjoyment.
