Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo Mia Ida

A rosé sparkling wine, first vintage 2009, dedicated by Alberto to his mother Ida Costa Arlunno, a strong woman who loved the land of Ghemme and lived for her family.

Tasting notes

Cherry-red colour, crystalline, with fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, fruity notes recalling red apple and floral violet. Ready to drink, soft, fresh, with an inviting sapidity.

Pairs well with

Ideal as an aperitif. Very enjoyable throughout a meal thanks to the character given by the Nebbiolo grape.
