Brut Rosé

Nice Sparkling Rose’ made from Chardonnay (65%) and Pinot Nero (35%). Ages up to 30 months on the lees which develops nice body and a creamy texture. Salmon colored with clear notes of wild berries, rose petals, apples and tropical fruit. Structured, crisp and smooth with well placed acidity on the finish. Great Aperitivo and a nice pairing with grilled pizza! — 5 years ago

Never to young to learn how to smell wine, I taught my son about aromas in wine at age 10!
