First, let’s find out how this irreplaceable summer drink is made. Many people may think that this is a mixture of white wine with red, but this is not so – in all of France, with the exception of the Champagne region, where it is occasionally used, it is illegal. The easiest option is to gently squeeze the juice from red grapes, because it is always white and all the color pigment is in the skin; then gently add the peel to the wine and leave for 1-3 days to macerate. When the winemaker is satisfied with the color and taste of the drink, the skin needs to be removed for further vinification processes. The result is a rosé wine that has some of the qualities of a red wine and a freshness of white. The most common grape varieties from which rose is produced are Pinot Noir, Grenache, Zinfandel and Tempronilo.

So which way to look when choosing a dish for rosé wine? Light snacks such as anchovies, melon and prosciutto, as well as any appetizer with olives, are always suitable for the style of rosé wine.
