Rosé
Cuvée Massi
By Marco Bonfante, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Rosé of Brachetto and Nebbiolo dedicated to Massimo, who joined the Bonfante family in 2021.
Tasting notes
Clear, pale pink. Delicate, fresh bouquet with hints of rose and strawberry. Fine, dry and sapid, with balanced acidity and notable minerality; important structure for a rosé and good persistence.
Pairs well with
Summer aperitif and fresh starters; fish dishes such as linguine with clams, cuttlefish and calamari.
