Rosato Alpi Retiche'

Nebbiolo, Lombardia, Italy 

Come take a look at the world through the lightest rosé tinted bevy around. Head winemaker of this legendary family estate, Angelo is known as the high priest of the Valtellina Alps. Together with his sons, they have gained a reputation for their pure and lifted expressions of nebbiolo, and their dedication to growing lesser-known local varieties like: róssola, rossolino rosa, brugnòla & megrera. This organic chiavennasca (the local name for Nebbiolo) is serious in structure, but as stunning cute as a pink lil piggy in a pink lil blanket. The grapes come from two extremely old, historic vineyards & spend one day on skins pulling shy tannins. Wild strawberry extract, cheeky hibiscus tea, alpine dew on lichen, cool citrus, stoney minerality & the most delicate rose petal texture. Enjoy on a warm night, watching fireflies & eating the classic pizzoccheri.
