The Tenuta Antica Cavalleria Dame Rosato is a rosé that goes far beyond a simple summer wine. This rosato, originating from the northern slopes of Mount Etna, stands out for its pronounced character and the clear influence of the volcanic landscape in which the grapes grow.

The aroma presents ripe cherries, wild strawberries, rosehip, and soft floral notes, complemented by a subtle spiciness and a hint of citrus that gives the wine extra tension. The volcanic soil can be tasted in the mineral freshness and a light, almost salty nuance that refines the whole.

Origin: northern flank of Mount Etna, Sicily
Grape: 100% Nerello Mascalese
Flavors of red currants, wild strawberry, mild herbs

Tasting note

The Dame Rosato opens with an elegant aroma of cherries, rosehips, rose petals, and citrus. On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh, with a light salty undertone derived from the lava soils.

The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with refined acidity and a long, elegant finish. This rosé offers much more depth than you would expect from a light wine.

Culinary advice: dishes that combine excellently

Grilled vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers
Fresh salads, for example caprese or a fennel-orange salad
Seafood and light fish dishes, partly thanks to the fresh acidity.
Mediterranean dishes such as bruschetta, light pasta or salads with mango or feta
