Natalie's Score: 93/100

A blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes that’s chiefly Pinot Noir (about 75%), which gives it a lovely salmon colour and robust character. Pinot Meunier as a grape doesn’t do well in Italy so instead Italian sparkling wine producers tend to use Pinot Bianco, which does the same job of providing the zesty acidity to the wine. This wine spent two years aging on its lees for extra creaminess and richness. This is simply a splendid sparkling wine with vibrant raspberry and strawberry notes on the nose that lead you on through a field of sensual pleasures. It’s perfect for toasting celebrations or just for sipping while you watch a movie and snack on some gourmet potato chips. This wine will be available in the LCBO in November.

Sparkling Rosé food pairings: potato chips.
