## Summary

The saignée-method Rosé counterpart to Zero 140, aged almost 12 years on the lees, which the estate says tames the power of Pinot Noir into a long, complex expression of the Alta Langa terroir.

## Tasting notes

Pale rosé with onion-skin nuances and a fine, persistent perlage, a complex, broad nose where bread crust and candied fruit alternate with lime honey and small red fruit still perceptible after the long ageing on the lees, and a palate of great freshness and acid tension over mineral and toasted hazelnut notes, with striking length.

## Food pairings

Good as an aperitif, with fish and shellfish dishes, oysters and caviar.
