## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Aperitif, and suited to a whole meal
