What results is a wine of such purity, drive and energy that it seems to elevate what is in your glass well beyond any pre-fabricated notions of what rosé wine should be, and into the stratosphere of what great wine can be. Earthy, savory and layered – it's immediately seductive, with a bracing blend of dried rose hip, wild strawberries, spiced melon, and flinty, volcanic soil aromatics. Lively and lingering, with a long resonance of raspberry sorbet and citrus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farm Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41977020514384,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/FotiRosato.png?v=1769043414"},{"product_id":"mortellito-viaria-bianco-2024","title":"Mortellito Viaria Bianco 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe bone-dry Moscati of Sicily are a rare breed that occupy a special place all of their own, especially considering most people’s direct associations with the noun ‘Moscato’ is the adjective ‘sweet.’ Mortellito’s ‘Viara’ bottling is derived of a clonal selection of Moscato native to this corner of Sicily, known as Moscatella di Noto. Melding the intensely aromatic and distinctly golden hallmarks of the Moscato family – think orange blossom, barely ripe quince, yellow nectarine, the glow of sunset – with a wonderfully sapid and herbal texture. The arid climate in this corner of Sicily acts only to increase the florality of the Viara, while delivering an incisively minty freshness, with oodles of crushed spearmint rolling briskly into a tongue-smacking dryness on the finish.

While studying law in his native Bologna, he met his future wife Eloisa, with the early years of their relationship spent traveling to wineries and local tasting fairs on weekends. It wasn't until 2007, seven years after the couple had met, that Eloisa proposed they visit her family farm in Abruzzo. Situated between the Adriatic coast and the glacial Majella mountain range, it had been in the de Fermo family for generations but she had no real connection to it; Stefano was smitten. The couple went from spending weekends at the farm to managing a hectare of vines on the property to hone their understanding of viticulture, eventually forgoing their law careers to take the reins of De Fermo full time in 2009. Since resurrecting the family's cultural heritage (and beautiful old cantina), Stefano and Eloisa have proven themselves to be stewards of their land and talented winemakers, understanding that the best thing they can do is to intervene as seldom as possible in the cellar, allowing the soils of their native Loreto Aprutino to do the talking. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA brawny and intense take on the iconic Abruzzese varietal, named for Eloisa’s Francophile uncle Carlo.
