Ancora Pinot Grigio Rosé, IGT Provincia di Pavia
Lightly tinted Pinot Grigio Rosé with a touch of Pinot Noir from the Pavia region south of Milan.
Pale coral pink, this is a dry, fresh and fruity rosé with delicate aromas of red berries. Good intensity of ripe red berry and cherry fruit, with a fresh lingering finish.
Produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northern Italy. The ripest grapes were selected from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. The extra ripeness allows the dark-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes to develop a pink tinge which is further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness, crushed and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at a 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.
Serve chilled as an aperitif or to accompany salads, cold meats such as salami or smoked chicken or seafood dishes.
