I remember this Rosé from a previous tasting when the wine was all about its generous mouthfeel and obvious richness. At today’s event, the wine has transformed, showing a much more delicate side, with fresh, lively flavors and a...
A pale straw color shows reflections of new gold with fine bubbles. Soft and elegant aroma of apples accompanied by a nutty smokiness. The mouth is creamy and delicious with a well-balanced sweetness and acidity. The finish is persistent and soft...
It was Antonio Deltetto’s passion for Champagne that changed the fortunes of the winery he took over from his father in 1980. He had the idea he could make good sparkling right there from his own vineyards in the Roero, an idea most of his...
