I’m Rosalind Cooper and I’m here to talk to you about Rosé. Whether it’s your first choice or your last on a wine list, there is something here for you. After years of writing about and tasting wine, there is something truly special to me about the pink stuff. It’s a style that brings energy, joy and a sense of fun. And it can complement all and every style of cuisine (trust me). But make no mistake; it can be serious too, and the best Rosé wines are up there with the best wines of all hues. It’s the fastest growing style of wine in the world, but the least well understood. This is how The Rosé Report will prove itself invaluable. I taste so you don’t have to! Trust me to source delightful wines from accomplished producers and to rate them fairly and accurately.

So join me on a journey round the world of pink wine, from Provence to Perth and back again. New reviews every week, interviews with some fascinating producers, plus an annual report showcasing the best pink wines of the world. Welcome to the Rosé Report.

About this Vineyard

Tenuta Il Palagio is the stunning 16th-century Tuscan estate owned by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, nestled among the vineyards of Figline Valdarno in the province of Florence. The couple painstakingly restored the run-down villa and its 350 hectares of land, converting the entire operation to certified biodynamic and organic farming, with wines charmingly named after Sting’s own songs. Today, under the guidance of consultant oenologist Riccardo Cotarella and resident oenologist Ettore del Lupo, the estate produces around 120,000 bottles a year from 11 hectares of vines, led by Sangiovese alongside Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Vermentino.
