Sparkling
Viso Rosé
By Le Marie, Pinerolese, Piemonte, Italy
A rosé metodo classico pas dosé from native black grapes, about 90 months on the lees. About 5,000 bottles a year, 13% vol.
Tasting notes
Salmon colour tending to onion skin (pelure d'oignon), fine persistent mousse. Long lees contact gives bread crust and brioche aromas with fruit (clear morello cherry) and floral (fresh, sometimes withered, red rose) notes. Fine perlage, fruity and floral freshness, tannin adding structure and complexity.
Pairs well with
All-meal sparkling wine: aperitif and starters, delicate and sweet-leaning dishes such as molluscs, crustaceans and fish (also caviar), pasta and risotto, young and soft cheeses, and fatty red meats.
