New ideas were needed and one of them was to produce a ros\u00e9. When I first heard about this from my wine-making friends, I had a nightmarish vision of sweetish, French-style ros\u00e9s making their appearance in Chianti. Luckily, the opposite happened. Tuscan ros\u00e9s &#8211; <em>vino rosato<\/em>, as they are known &#8211; are crisp and the taste of the sangiovese grapes comes through strongly.
