8010471002511

Served with charcuterie, salads, chicken or seafood dishes.

A pretty coral pink rose with red berry and strawberry aromas. A fresh and fruity palate is packed full of summer berry fruit ? the ripe and rounded mouthfeel is balanced by a refreshing red cherry crush on the finish.

The grapes are harvested from mature hillside vineyards in the Pavia region of northern Italy. Hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and transported to Adria's cellars where they are crushed and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at 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. The ripest grapes were selected from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. This 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.
