Brezza Giacomo e Figli Langhe Rosato

Rosato from Nebbiolo, a style the producer's father Oreste was already making in the 1970s. Italian rosati, the producer notes, lean closer to red wine than French ones.

Tasting notes

Important primary aromas of flowers, rose and peach; less full-bodied and less tannic than the Langhe Nebbiolo.

Pairs well with

Aperitif, fish and light summer menus.
