A fresh and appealing style of Pinot Grigio rosé from the Pavia zone of north-west Italy. The addition of early-harvested Pinot Noir grapes and gentle pressing give a delicate salmon pink colour and subtle red berry fruit.
Pale coral pink, this is a dry, fresh and fruity rosé with delicate aromas of red berries. A juicy palate with good intensity of ripe red berry and cherry fruit. A lightly creamy texture with zesty acidity, leading to a crisp, dry finish.
Produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northwest Italy. The ripest grapes were selected from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. The extra ripeness allows the dark-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes develop a pink tinge which is further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards.
The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness together, and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at low temperature before gentle pressing. After a slow, cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks the wine was bottled young to preserve freshness and aromas.
Serve chilled as an aperitif or to accompany salads, cold meats such as salami or smoked chicken, or seafood dishes.
