This wine stands out for its vertical structure, with notable tannins and fresh aromas that create a distinct personality, all wrapped in an attractive color. Crafted by Elio Sandri, who blends tradition with a spirit of experimentation, this rosé comes from a small parcel of grapes originally destined for Barolo Riserva 2020. The grapes are hand-harvested, lightly pressed, and undergo 12 hours of maceration before fermenting with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks.
