Rosé pas dosé Alta Langa from 100% Pinot Nero, with a two-hour cold maceration for colour.

Tasting notes

Antique pink with a fine perlage. Fruity nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, hints of pomegranate and dog rose, with sugared almond, sweet oriental spices and aromatic herbs. Decisive, fresh, dry and enveloping on the palate, with red fruit and medlar returning; delicate bubbles and a very long mineral finish.

Pairs well with

Aperitif, and suited to a whole meal

Fermentation in steel at a controlled 13-14 °C for about 28 days, then some months in steel with weekly bâtonnage. Tirage in early spring, second fermentation in bottle of about 60 days, then at least 30 months on the lees in horizontal bottles in the underground cellar rooms, manual riddling on pupitres and disgorgement.
