Alta Langa DOCG Rachele Rosé Vendemmia 2019

A Metodo Classico Rosé dedicated to a special woman.

Obtained from Pinot Noir grapes of the superlative Harvest 2018, this Metodo Classico Rosé produces fresh and elegant bubbles, characterized by unique finesse and complexity.

This Alta Langa “rosé de saignée”, with a delicate natural pink color, given by the light maceration of Pinot Noir, is a tribute to Rachele Bosca, a woman who, with her enlightened vision, gave life to the reality that still today is Tosti1820.

ORGANOLEPTIC FEATURES
FOAM
: intense with a fine grain.
PERLAGE: elegant, constant and persistent. The tiny bubbles that rise in the glass generate fascinating chains which on the surface maintain a crown of stable foam typical of perfect aging on the lees
COLOR: light pink with shades ranging from coral to peach
AROMA: very intense with floral notes boosted by secondary aromas with notes of toasted bread, honey, butter and raisins. The tertiary aromas with notes of violet, vanilla and cinnamon complete the bouquet and enhance the elegance on the nose
TASTE: Creamy, savory and mineral. The structure of the Pinot Noir and the long aging on the lees are the secret of these elegant, complex and refined bubbles, but at the same time rich in a surprising freshness. Even in the final tasting an elegant balance remains characterized by notes of yeast combined with light mineral and spicy hints which enable it to be a perfect gastronomic wine.
