Pej Rosé
By Cascina Ciuché, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A rosé made entirely from Nebbiolo, the sister wine to the Pej Nebbiolo red, fresh and fruity for warm-weather drinking.
Tasting notes
Bright cherry pink. Pleasant aromas of berries, lilac, dog rose, fruit jelly and undergrowth. Fresh and savoury, with a lingering fruity finish.
