Description
100% Sciaccarello on granitic arenas, the cuvée Faustine rosé of Comte Abbatucci reconciles pleasure and gastronomy. The nose exhales subtle notes of citrus (pink grapefruit), peach and red fruits, but also floral notes and some spices. After a nice vivacity in attack, the heart of the mouth loosens in a supple and silky way. A juicy touch of English candy adds a little more greed. Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany some grilled meats.
