Tasting Notes

Clear, typical onion skin rosé. Quite intense and complex, with a fresh red fruit aroma: berries and not too ripe cherries. Wildflower notes, garden-fresh red and white roses. Very fresh and savory mouthfeel, dry as well, it closes with bright mineral notes. A full-bodied wine, balanced, round and quite persistent.

Recommended Pairings

Perfect pairing: a dish with very sweet and fatty tendencies, maybe not too spiced with a good, savory, persistance. Pasta with mushrooms, a calzone with onions and codfish or seashore fish fry. Fantastic pairing with slightly grilled mullet.
