By Ridaroca, Roero, Piemonte, Italy

Ridaroca Barüs

Lightly sparkling rosé from Barbera, Nebbiolo and Bonarda grown at 295 m, 12.5 to 13.5% alcohol depending on vintage.

Tasting notes

Pink in colour, fragrant and harmonious on the palate, with a fine, persistent perlage. Pleasantly fruity and floral nose. Best drunk in its vintage year.

Pairs well with

When young, roast white meats; superb with grilled pork and lamb; very good with tagliatelle al ragù. Slightly aged, a good match for game roasts and spicy cheeses.

Soft destemming and pressing, with skin contact kept short to avoid negative polyphenols; the must rests in tank until the sparkling stage (presa di spuma). The light fizz comes from natural refermentation in autoclave with selected yeasts. Filtered, no bottle ageing.
