A Bargain Wine For Summer

The 2022 Rosa dell'Olmo Langhe Nebbiolo is imported by Latitude Wines, a company I've had good luck with in the past. It is available only at Trader Joe's, and it falls squarely into the Bargain Wines To Look For category. Aging took place in stainless steel tanks, and alcohol sits at 13.5% abv and it sells at TJ's for $9. A steal.

This wine looks like a rosato, lightly tinted for a red wine. The nose offers bright cherry and lilac scents. On the palate, juicy and vibrant red fruit are a delight, while the acidity is refreshing and the tannins are medium-firm. It finishes medium, with plenty of fruity reminders of the sip. With summer on the way, keep this one in mind if you need a light red to chill for the patio.
