Intrepidus Sangiovese Rosé 2025 from cool‑climate Australia is exactly the kind of dry, vibrant pink that makes summer drinking a pleasure – pale, savoury and refreshingly brisk, with Sangiovese’s red‑fruited charm front and centre. Intrepidus Sangiovese Rose 2025 opens with wild strawberry, sour cherry, rose petal and a little citrus peel lift that keeps the nose energetic and inviting.

On the palate it’s all crunchy red berries, blood orange and a faint watermelon note, framed by bright acidity and a subtle, savoury edge that keeps things firmly in the food‑friendly, Provence‑inspired camp rather than sweet and confected. The body sits light‑to‑medium, gliding across the tongue with a clean, dry finish that makes each glass feel effortlessly moreish and immediately ready for another pour.

For food, Intrepidus Sangiovese Rosé 2025 is a natural fit with antipasti, prosciutto and melon, tomato salads, grilled prawns or a simple margherita pizza, where its acidity and savoury line slice neatly through salt and oil. It is also brilliant with chargrilled vegetables, herby roast chicken, niçoise salad or a spread of mezze, bringing just enough fruit and structure to handle olives, anchovies and herbs while staying cool, crisp and utterly smashable.
