La Tarentina is a rosat made from 100% Garnatxa Peluda, the hairy-leafed genotype of Garnatxa Negra. The genetic switches that were flipped to cause the morphology of the leaves to change also subtly altered the fruit character of this variety, resulting in lower alcohol at ripeness with lively red-fruit flavors tinged with spice and herbal notes. Fittingly named after a local aromatic plant, Myrtus Tarentina, this is far from your average pink wine with a depth of exotic flavors that gives it versatility in pairing with various cuisines.
