## Summary

A rose made by the saignee method from the same Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Vigna Canova 2020 fruit, conceived as a bridge between the estate's whites and reds for warmer months.

## Tasting notes

Deep, intense cherry pink color. Notable aromatic power with floral and fruity notes and mineral hints typical of some Dolcetto expressions, plus balsamic, herbal nuances on aeration. Full-bodied palate, persistent and deep finish with a light, pleasant almond note. 15.5% ABV, described by the producer as slender and clean despite the alcohol level.
