## Summary

A rosé made from Nebbiolo, best enjoyed young; the producer recommends drinking it within 2-3 years of harvest to preserve its fragrance.

## Tasting notes

Soft cherry red in colour, with a fresh and pleasant perfume of violets and fruit notes including raspberry and strawberry. Dry, delicate, elegant and well-structured on the palate, balanced and distinctly fresh, with fine tannins giving a long finish.

## Food pairings

An excellent aperitif, ideal with starters and pasta courses as well as all kinds of pizza; thanks to its softness and restrained but perceptible acidity, it is also delicious with fish, fresh cheeses and vegetable dishes.
