Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Rosé DOCG

What do Valentino Rossi and Roger Federer have in common? Simple, they are champions who despite their identity cards hold their own against much younger athletes.  Our Cuvée Rosé is a bit like that: it is a Metodo Classico that wants to demonstrate how Pinot Noir from the Oltrepò Pavese cultivated on suitable soils can have its say - and how! - even after long ageing on the lees (70 to 90 months).

The starting point is a cuvée composed of grapes from the estate's vineyards located at the highest altitude, so as to take advantage of all the acidity that the soil gives us. After crushing, obtaining the pink colour through draining and fermentation, the wine is bottled in spring before a very long rest on the lees.

The olfactory picture is complex and offers notes of baked pastries, spices and hints of balsamic herbs. In the mouth, the freshness is surprising, still with good backbone, lively and penetrating, with a distinct saline vein. Pairings can range from long-cooked meat dishes to furry game. But also challenge it with oysters and raw fish to appreciate its pleasant contrast. Best enjoyed at 6-8 °C.
