Cantina Sociale di Nizza Koral

Brut rosé sparkling from equal parts Nebbiolo and Pinot Nero, made by the Martinotti method. 12.5% vol.

Tasting notes

Coral-pink rose sparkling, seductive and inviting. Lively and direct thanks to marked savouriness, then good body and pronounced softness. Severe but balanced, easy drinking with great character, a long finish and silky effervescence.

Pairs well with

An aperitif; light fish starters and crostini with creamy cheeses, fresh summer salads; the house loves it with oysters and raw fish, or caciucco.
