Serve chilled as an aperitif or to accompany salads, cold meats such as salami or smoked chicken or seafood dishes.

Pale coral pink, this is a dry, fresh and fruity rose with delicate aromas of red berries. Soft and creamy texture ? with good intensity of ripe berry and red cherry fruit with a vibrant finish.

Produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northern Italy. The ripest grapes were selected from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. The extra ripeness allows the dark-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes develop a pink tinge which is further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness, crushed and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at a low temperature before gentle pressing. After a slow, cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks the wine was bottled young to preserve freshness and aromas.
