Istine Rosato 2024 Review

The Fronti family specialized in vineyard development and management for famed Tuscan wineries for decades. But after Angela Fronti graduated from enology school, she convinced her father and uncle that they needed their own label and started Istine as a small family-run winery in 2009. We’ve praised Istine’s complex Chianti Classico in previous roundups, but here we get to see Sangiovese’s fun, easy-going side. It offers lush flavors of wild strawberries, ripe raspberries dusted in powdered sugar, rosemary, and thyme and a bright natural acidity. Pair with pizza picnics in the park.
