Rosé
Il Rosa
By Tenuta Cucco, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Langhe rosé from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Barbera, kept in steel on its fine lees. First made with the 2023 harvest.
Tasting notes
Delicate colour recalling Belvedere roses, with the freshness of a white wine in the mouth, marked acidity and a finish of wild strawberry, evident on the nose from the first sniff.
Pairs well with
Aperitifs, raw fish, summer salads and white meat.
