La Scolca Brut Rosé

A rosé Metodo Classico from Cortese, at least 36 months on the lees.

Tasting notes

Typically cherry-pink, onion-skin colour; dense soft abundant foam, fine continuous bubbles. Intense, ethereal yet fresh and delicate nose of orange blossom and dog rose fading to bread crust and red fruit. Broad, savoury palate with slight roundness and long softness; strawberry, grapefruit and jasmine.

Pairs well with

Whole meal; seafood starters and fish dishes, even salty ones; fruit desserts.
