Sparkling
La Rosa dei 20
By Il Poggio di Gavi, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera rose metodo classico, brut, with 24 months on the lees.
Tasting notes
A delicate rose of pale pink colour. Subtle floral scents of rose petals and wild flowers with red fruit and light yeasty touches from the long lees ageing. Dry, vibrant and refreshing on the palate with lively acidity and fine, persistent bubbles; clear fruit of wild strawberry and pomegranate and a lasting mineral finish.
Pairs well with
Fish and vegetable tempura, chicken croquettes, stuffed courgette flowers, rice and pasta dishes with vegetables, rice arancini, peppers with bagna cauda, chickpea farinata, smoked herring, rice salads, wurstel, ricotta and gorgonzola, gourmet pizza.
