Caldora Colle dei Venti Rosé 2022

This “Provence style “rosé has a very pale pink blush colour. Fresh and flinty aromas of strawberry, fresh cut watermelon, and rose petals on the nose with mineral notes on the palate. The wine has a refreshing acidity that’s in harmony with the fruit and well-rounded with good length. Its long and intense finish is the signature of a rosé with incomparable elegance.

Fantastic as aperitif, matches very well also with raw fish, delicate vegetarian dishes, fresh cheeses, and japanese cuisine.
