This wine has a dry yet rounded flavour, fresh and cheeky. it has a intense fragrance and a persistent nose with and a ruby red colour.
A garnet red colour with a delicate, appealing, intense bouquet, reminiscent of violets and dry roses, alcohol-soaked cherries, vanilla, tobacco, truffles and pepper. The taste is full, robust, austere but velvety and harmonious.
Pinot Grigio grapes have rather dark skins and they are left in contact with the fermenting juice for just the right amount of time to give this delicate Rosé wine its pink colour. With a fragrant nose of flowers and fresh fruit, soft and ripe on the palate, with delicate hints of raspberries this is a very easy wine to drink.
Try it with Coke! Big root and herb notes with squished bitter prunes wrapped in layers of tighy minty madness. This is followed by a stewed stone fruit and bitter mint finish.
