Wine pairing at Juniper — 5 years ago
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! — 7 years ago

2013 vintage. Really enjoyed this! Nice and light...not too sweet. Great with meat and cheese plate.... — 8 years ago
From the time we tasted the amarone with Francesca at her winery, this has been an absolute favorite. Intensely aromatic violet and deep woodsy red fruit. Gorgeous silky texture envelopes the first tantalizingly bright on the tongue at first giving way to full body complex mix of silky spice-wrapped tone-in-tone darker fruit. — 9 years ago
