Barbacan Alpi Retiche Rosato 2020

An alpine rose made of 70% Chivannesca (aka Nebbiolo), and 30% of the other indigenous varieties.

 Very gentle pressing, and only about 24 hours of skin contact, ferments spontaneously, and rests in concrete briefly before being bottled.  Sleek strawberry, red currant, candied rose petal give evidence of Nebbiolo (truly, Chivannesca) which rests atop a tarry earth, mineral core. Tangy acidity and light bergamot black tea tannins fuse with black cherry on the smoky earth finish.  11.5% ABV
