Ramato is an orange wine not a Rose in my opinion. Its listed on some wine lists as Rose, but its an orange wine made in the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia from Pinot Grigio grapes and macerated on the skins to give the copper colour. Yes, its the same method as a Rose, but the difference is Rose is macerated with the black grape skins and only being macerated for a few hours average to give a pink colour to the wine. Ramato is made with Pinot Grigio from Friuli Venezia Giulia so its exclusive to that region. So if a Pinot Gris in France is made in this way its an orange wine, Ramato is referring to the regional style, but its still an orange wine. Ramato maceration on skins can be up to 20-24 hrs and some continue on the skins during fermentation, each Ramato is different.
If you're a Rose fan, give Ramato a try its really great.
