Rosé
Piemonte Rosato
By Cascina Guido Berta, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A dry rosé blended from Nebbiolo and Barbera, hand-picked at the end of August and bottled in early March.
Tasting notes
Intense rosé with soft orange highlights. Intense aromas of red fruit such as cherry and raspberry mingling with pomegranate and rose petal. Dry on the palate with good acidity and minerality, closing on a long, savoury finish.
