## Summary

Rosé Alta Langa Metodo Classico from pure Pinot Nero grown at Camo, 60 months on the lees. Marco describes working pure Pinot Nero under the Alta Langa appellation as an honour and a pleasure.

## Tasting notes

Very pale pink. The nose recalls dog rose, redcurrant and field herbs. The palate is fresh, dry, full and long, with fine, persistent bubbles.

## Food pairings

Ideal as a more structured aperitif, best with charcuterie, semi-aged cheeses and pâtés.
