We promise you, despite the momentary relapse into winter, our gorgeous California spring is on the way and this is the perfect wine for patio sipping.  Susasi means, in the Piemontese dialect, ‘chosen’ and every year the Deltettos choose a tiny bit of Nebbiolo from their certified organically-farmed vineyards in Roero to harvest a bit earlier in the season in order to fashion this simply charming dry Rose.  Vinified cool, completely in stainless steel, it’s dry and pleasantly fruity with lovely red fruit, a hint of fresh peach and a bit floral spice on a fresh, food-friendly palate.  Easy to drink on its own, Carlo Deltetto says he likes it best with some fresh anchovy served with his mother’s homemade bread and good butter.  I like it anyway I can get it!  It’s the perfect partner for salads, smoked fish, a platter of salumi and just about anything else- or nothing else!  **+ Arugulas, *** Hammocks on PRIMA’s scientific rose scale.
