Castello Banfi — Cuvée Aurora Rosé (Pinot Noir) — 2018 — 750ml

VARIETIES: Pinot Nero

Banfi was among the seven historic houses that, claiming the Piedmont roots of traditional Italian sparkling wine, in 1990 gave the go-to project Spumante Metodo Classico in Piedmont. In 2008 was finally obtained the Alta Langa DOCG appellation.

The seasonal course of this 2018 vintage is characterised by a high frequency of rains, which has created critical aspects in the vineyard work. Despite these conditions, postponing the harvest period, the quality of the grapes turned out to be good with excellent tips.

Light pink colour with fine and very persistent perlage. Intense and enveloping bouquet with hints of citrus peel and notes of rose and vanilla. Sapidity and freshness are well balanced, and the result is a structured, full and soft wine in the mouth.

Ideal as an aperitif; perfect with oysters, raw and cooked seafood and shellfish.
