Charlish & Co ‘Rosso’ Dolcetto/Sangiovese 2022 from the Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek is a vibrant, Italian‑styled red that feels like Pinot on the nose and Grenache on the palate – comfort sipping, balanced and moreish from first glass to last. It’s wild‑yeast fermented, aged in seasoned French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered for maximum personality.

In the glass, Charlish & Co Rosso 2022 bursts with tart forest berries, cranberries and crunchy cherry, layered over rhubarb, liquorice, blood orange and a mix of savoury dried herbs and gentle earth. Light‑to‑medium bodied with bright acidity and chalky but friendly tannins, it’s built to be drunk young, either lightly chilled or at room temperature.

Food‑wise, this Rosso is tailor‑made for antipasto – salami, pancetta, olives and hard cheeses – plus pork‑and‑fennel sausage pizza or tomato‑based pasta. It’s exactly the sort of versatile, modern Italian‑blend red that feels right at home on a casual South Australian dinner table.
