Tasting notes

Aglianico almost never comes in at 11% ABV — this 2019 vintage is a genuinely low-alcohol rosato with real structure, driven by high natural acidity and notes of blood orange, wild cherry, and dried flowers. It is the lighter, more electric side of a grape usually known for grip and tannin.

Pink Freud is a 100% Aglianico rosato from Canlibero, a two-hectare estate in Torrecuso, in the Sannio Beneventano zone of Campania. Ennio Romano and Mena Iannella founded the project in 2011, initially vinifying in Mena's grandfather's cellar after deciding to stop selling fruit to the local cooperative. The 2019 vintage comes in at just 11% ABV, making it one of the lightest expressions of the label.

The vineyards sit at 420 to 470 meters above sea level within the Taburno National Park, on clay and rocky calcareous soils. Farming follows biodynamic principles, with only copper, sulfur, and biodynamic preparations used in the vineyard. The Aglianico parcels include the Turrumpiso site, where vines are over 50 years old, though the fruit for Pink Freud is sourced from younger parcels designated for rosé production.

In the cellar, grapes are destemmed and directly pressed, with spontaneous fermentation carried out using only native yeasts in stainless steel. The 2019 vintage aged for 9 months in stainless steel before bottling. No filtration, no fining, and no sulfites are added at any stage.

The result is a light ruby rosato with a nose of red berry fruit, floral notes, and a hint of spice. On the palate it is fresh and medium-bodied, with lively acidity and a persistent finish built around blood orange and wild cherry. Drink now while the fruit is vibrant.

Serve with fried seafood, grilled branzino, or a simple Campanian caprese with bufala mozzarella. The wine's high acidity and low alcohol also make it a good match for vegetable-forward antipasti and fresh herb-dressed salads. Try it slightly chilled at around 50-54F.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Canlibero

Canlibero was founded in 2011 by Ennio Romano and Mena Iannella in Torrecuso, in the Sannio Beneventano area of Campania. Both come from grape-growing families who historically sold fruit to the local cooperative. After Ennio attended a natural wine course led by Sandro Sangiorgi, the two decided to vinify independently, starting with a small number of bottles in Mena's grandfather's cellar.

The estate covers just over two hectares divided into several small parcels in and around Torrecuso, all farmed following biodynamic principles. Vineyards are planted at elevations between 420 and 470 meters above sea level on clay and rocky calcareous soils. Planted varieties include Aglianico, Fiano, Falanghina, and Trebbiano. The Aglianico parcel called Turrumpiso contains vines over 50 years old and is used for their red wine of the same name. In the vineyard, only copper, sulfur, and biodynamic preparations are used.

Cellar intervention is minimal across all Canlibero wines. Fermentations are spontaneous, using only indigenous yeasts. No sulfur dioxide is used at any stage. Wines are not filtered or fined before bottling. For Pink Freud, the approach is direct press followed by stainless steel fermentation and aging, resulting in a fresh, low-intervention rosato.

Wine region

Campania, Italy

Campania occupies the southwestern coast of the Italian peninsula, with the province of Benevento — home to the Sannio Beneventano zone — sitting inland to the northeast of Naples. Sannio accounts for roughly 50% of Campania's total wine production, with 10,000 hectares under vine. The area around Torrecuso lies within the Taburno National Park at elevations between 400 and 500 meters. Soils in this part of Sannio are predominantly clay and calcareous, distinct from the volcanic soils found closer to Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast. The inland continental climate brings significant diurnal temperature variation, which is critical for preserving acidity in late-ripening varieties like Aglianico.

The Sannio Beneventano has three primary appellations: Aglianico del Taburno DOCG, Falanghina del Sannio DOC, and Sannio DOC, plus the broader Beneventano IGT and Campania IGT designations used for wines that fall outside stricter DOC/DOCG rules. Aglianico and Falanghina are the dominant grape varieties. Falanghina is the workhorse white, producing aromatic and fresh styles, while Aglianico — a late-ripening black grape that can mature on the vine well into November at elevation — forms the backbone of the region's red and rosato production.
