## Summary

A rosé made by the saignée method from 100% Pinot Noir, Zero de Saignée carries the same house style as the estate's other Alta Langa Riserva pas dosé wines, with the variety's fruit and structure drawn out by the brief skin contact.

## Tasting notes

Pale rosé with onion-skin nuances and a fine, long-lasting perlage, a complex, deep nose of small red fruit such as raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and redcurrant that reveals its Pinot Noir saignée origin, fading into bread crust, white fruit and lime blossom, and a palate built on great freshness and acid tension with a long, mineral, saline finish.

## Food pairings

Good as an aperitif, with fish and shellfish dishes, and excellent with prosciutto and salmon dishes.
