Type of Wine
This rose is made of two grapes: 51% Sangiovese & 49% Merlot.
Origin
Italy

12.0% ABV.
How and when to drink / taste
This pink rose wine has a distinct strawberry flavor and aroma, along with a lingering tartness. For our taste testing team, this berry flavor was a delight to the taste buds, while the lasting acidic punch was not as unanimously preferred.
It is recommended that this rose should be paired with shellfish, grilled fish, tangy cheese (like goat cheese), strawberries, and even sweet potato dishes.

The Bottom Line
We rated the Sovereign Virtue Rose from Costco’s Hello Summer Wine Sampler (2021) 3.0 Stars (out of 5)!

Like biting into a tangy strawberry, some of our team really liked it while others did not prefer the lasting tartness. If paired with food, it is recommended to drink this wine with shellfish, grilled fish, tangy cheese (like goat cheese), strawberries, or even sweet potato dishes.
