This vintage of the rosé is true the last few vintages: all the bright and fresh sides of rosé we love with an added depth to pair with food. There is a play between savory versus fresh and subtlety versus power that make this wine very intriguing. The aromas are wound up around
orange peel, tart strawberry, grapefruit, alpine herbs, wildflowers, and sea spray. The three varieties can all be seen in the structure: Nebbiolo lends the crunchy minerality, Dolcetto lends a delicate softness, and Barbera lends bright acidity.

Deep orange-pink. Pungent, mineral- and spice-tinged red currant, pomegranate and blood orange aromas take on subtle floral and herbal nuances with air. Chewy and tightly focused, offering lithe, refreshingly bitter orange pith and cherry pit flavors that slowly loosen up on the back half. The floral note comes back on a long, penetrating finish that sneaks in a subtle Amaro flourish. This vibrant, savory, pink-ish wine checks in at 11.9 ABV.
