From Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Nero (30%), this Rose is brittle pink, bright and delicate with fine and persistent grain. Its dominance is given by Pinot Noir and is softened by the elegance and finesse of the overriding Chardonnays catchy freshness in a bouquet of refined and authentic elegance with round and spontaneous juiciness. This pretty rose sparkling wine opens with a lush raspberry color and toasted aromas of baked bread, almond, mature fruit and creme de cassis. It shows a clean, compact mouthfeel with a touch of crisp acidity on the close. Wine Enthusiast, 88 Points
