Fontanafredda Solerose 2016
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThis Langhe Rosso pours a deeper cherry hue in the glass, and opens with ginger spicing before launching directly into strawberry jam, cherry and subtle kirsch spicing. Barbera, dolcetto and nebbiolo spent three months on fine lees, in stainless, for a youthful, soft and approachable (safe) rosé. The finish returns to ginger, but with this time spiced gingerale. Thankfully dry, and moderate (12 degrees), this is best well chilled and drunk now.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $28.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
