Le Pianelle Al posto dei Fiori Rose 2021

In 2010, Pianelle started out on a modern interpretation of Nebbiolo to produce ‘Al Posto dei Fiori’ DOC, a rosato produced from more than 90% Nebbiolo rounded off with autochthonous grape varieties Vespolina and Croatina. All of the grapes are hand-picked from selected plots. Fermentation occurs in a combination of steel barrels (90%) & used barrique barrels (10%). The result is a unique Rosato, excellently suited as a food companion, & of course particularly good with the rich foods of Piemonte. A stunning dry rosé with hints of wild strawberry, red fruits, rich dark cherries, orange peel, lychee, & watermelon. The bouquet is dominated by floral notes and an underlying minerality- this is a big wine with a long finish and an exceptional life span 5 - 10 years.
