Vinification and Aging

Fermentation: Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks
Maceration: Short skin contact to extract gentle color and aromatics
Secondary Fermentation: Bottle-fermented using the ancestral method (Pet-Nat style), with no disgorgement
Aging: Aged on lees in bottle for added texture and complexity
Fining/Filtration: Unfined and unfiltered, resulting in a naturally hazy wine with light sediment

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Hazy coral-pink hue with a gentle and persistent stream of fine bubbles
Aroma: Fresh red berries—wild strawberry, raspberry—and floral hints of rose and hibiscus, layered with subtle bready notes from lees aging
Palate: Bright, juicy, and textured with a creamy mousse and flavors of tart cherry, pink grapefruit, and rhubarb. The lees provide a slight savory edge and additional depth
Finish: Dry and refreshing, with a tangy citrus lift and a pleasant, mouthwatering finish

Food Pairing

This sparkling rosato is a natural companion to a wide range of foods. Perfect with picnic fare, cured meats, grilled vegetables, and fresh salads. It also pairs well with seafood pasta, fried appetizers, and light Asian dishes. Its lively acidity and bubbles make it a great match for anything crispy or spicy.

Serving Recommendations

Serving Temperature: 6–8°C (43–46°F)
Decanting: Gently invert the bottle to redistribute the lees before opening, if desired
Glassware: Best served in a tulip or white wine glass to showcase its aromatics and bubbles

Aging Potential

Enjoy within 1–2 years of the vintage for maximum freshness and vibrancy. While the lees may contribute subtle evolution over time, this wine is best appreciated young.
