Tasting note

A refined, méthode traditionnelle sparkling rosé with understated elegance. Pale salmon-pink in the glass with a persistent stream of fine bubbles. The nose opens with wild strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit, followed by delicate rose petals and citrus blossom. With air, layers of brioche, toasted almond and fresh pastry emerge from extended lees ageing. On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, driven by bright acidity and a silky, creamy mousse. Juicy red berry fruit is balanced by citrus zest and a distinct mineral salinity, leading into subtle notes of toasted bread and roasted hazelnut. The finish is long, precise and refreshing, with impressive finesse rather than power.

Viticulture

The vineyards are located in the cool, elevated terroir of Pomino, where altitude, fresh mountain breezes and well-drained soils encourage slow, balanced ripening. Sustainable vineyard practices and careful canopy management preserve freshness, aromatic intensity and the natural acidity essential for producing an elegant sparkling rosé.

Vinification

Crafted by the traditional method, the base wine undergoes bottle fermentation followed by extended ageing on lees to build texture and complexity. Gentle pressing preserves finesse, while careful dosage balances vibrant acidity, yielding a refined sparkling rosé with precision and elegance.
