Let's kick off rosé season

Easter is here with an interesting mix of weathers and moods. From late winter storms and flooding, too mild spring days under the sun. To balance this all out, I suggest we just kick start rosé season with this great bottle from Piemonte, north in Italy.

This rosé is orchestrated by Italys by far best winemaker, Luca Roagna. We've visited him a couple of years back; check it out here if you feel like traveling to Piemonte:

This exclusive wine is made predominantly from the Barbera grape, with some Nebbiolo and other local varieties as well. The beautiful deep crystal clear red colour comes from 20 hours contact with the grape skinn. It's produced for the Norwegian market only and comes in a limited quantity. It will be a perfect companion  for your Easter, whether it's spent at the cabin or home on your couch binging series. A great value wine.

Tasting notes

​Luca Roagna Rosato 2020 - 169kr

Brilliant clear red colour. Lovely smell of fresh crushed berries such as raspberries and cherries. Hintes of summer garden, flowers and herbs.
Delicate in the mouth with great flavours of red fruit. Rich and good fruit concentration with balanced acidity and good length. 

With food
It will be terrific with bonfire sausages, creamy chicken dishes and even pork. Will also pair well with seafood like langoustines and a nice fresh prawn sandwich with mayo.

A lot of wine for the price.
