Pretty In Pink

Just looking at the beautiful colour of this wine makes me happy, and tasting it even more. Wongraven has become a household name in the world of wine, known for producing excellent Barolo, Champagne and Riesling. Our pick of the week is his excellent bottle of rosé. It gets the deep brilliant red colour from three days of skin contact during maceration. This also gives the wine better acidity, structure and a broader palette of flavors. 

Usually rosé wines are quite simple affairs, with a more pale colour and a lighter palette. 
They are ment to be consumed young and rarely benefits from any aging. Our wine of the week, on the other hand, is a different story. Made on 100% Nebbiolo grape, this bottle can easily store in your cellar for 4-5 years and improve. Its also a versatile wine that will handle a variety if dishes. 

Tasting notes

Wongraven Senza Compromesso Piemonte Rosato 2019 - 185kr

Deep brilliant pink colour.
Rich smell of fresh ripe cherries, summer garden with flowers and hints of lighter red berries. 
Very delicate in the mouth with loads of cherries and currants. A concentrated wine with good acidity, light tannins and a long aftertaste.

With food
This will be a great allround wine for your tapas dinner. From nice cured meats such as Parma Ham to grilled pork or chicken and meaty fish dishes. 

And try storing a couple in your cellar for a couple of years. It will be fun, I promise :)
