Tasting notes:
Pale coral pink, this is a dry, fresh and fruity rosé with delicate aromas of red berries. A delicate yet juicy palate with good intensity of ripe red berry and cherry fruit. A lightly creamy texture with zesty acidity, leading to a crisp, dry finish.
About the wine:
The Mirabello Rosé is produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northwest 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 in the wine, further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards
In the winery, the grapes were crushed and pressed and the juice left in contact with the skins for 12 hours at a low temperature before gentle pressing. after a slow, cool fermentationin temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before bottling young to preserve the freshness.
