Rosato (pink) wines are an Italian specialty, and Montepulciano is considered one of the best Italian grape varieties for rosato wines. The Kómaros rosato is made from vines in the same vineyards as Garofoli's Grosso Agontano Cònero DOCG wine, but these vines are managed specifically for the rosato and are harvested earlier to maximize acidity and fruit. The name Kómaros which was also the Greek name for Mount Conero comes from the Greek word for arbutus or madrone trees that are common in this area.

The 2021 Rosato Montepulciano Kómaros wafts up to show dusty rose, sweet melon and minty herbs. This impresses, with its soft textures contrasted by a reverberation of zesty acids and sour citrus tones; yet through it all, a vivid note of ripe yellow apple resides at its core. The 2021 Kómaros tapers off with tension, leaving behind mineral-tinged tinged orchard fruits and a hint of blood orange.
