Tosco's word
Agricola Ludus's Toscana Rosato (7.3) is the most awarded, with its 3 AIS vitis and Sangiovese-Canaiolo typicity, at €12.81 for a very versatile rosé at the table. Folonari's Bolgheri Rosato (7.2) stands out mainly for its table versatility (8.1) and a Merlot terroir profile, but it has no awards and costs €14. If you want an award-winning rosé at the best price, choose Agricola Ludus; if you want a very flexible accompaniment for a fish or charcuterie meal, Folonari will suit you.
