Maria Elisa
By Angelo Negro, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A Nebbiolo rosé Metodo Classico, first made in 2004 and dedicated to Giovanni Negro's wife Maria Elisa, with 40 months on the lees.
Tasting notes
Soft rosé tending to onion skin. Fresh, fragrant red fruit, with Nebbiolo's fruity and spicy notes. Incisive, dynamically acid palate with a wide, enveloping aftertaste that closes on pepper.
