Pico Maccario Piemonte Rosato Lavignone 2016

Tasting Notes

Pale salmon in appearance, Lavignone Rosato is beautiful to look at.  It is even better to drink, however, as the nose and palate are met by playful aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon, cranberry, fresh-cut grass, and river stone. A refreshing, but modest, backbone of acidity supports a round mouth-feel and velvety texture.  The dry and balanced finish leaves the palate feeling clean and refreshed.

Food Pairing

A good rosé is not just pleasurable, it is versatile too.  Lavignone Rosato's bright aromatics and dry finish make it ideally suited to a wide range of dishes that incorporate fresh, in-season ingredients-- particularly fresh vegetables and tomatoes.  From a cool salad of farfalle pasta, fava beans, cherry tomatoes and spring onion to salt-baked red snapper with coconut rice to an evening on the back patio, Lavignone Rosato is right at home.
