An Italian blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet sauvignon, and Merlot would suggest a big bold rosé that might be too strong for some palates. The Centine is surprisingly fresh, balanced and delightful for rosé lovers. And, you can’t beat a nice light summer rosé for just $11. This wine was surprisingly light and enjoyable.
