Description
A blend of Sciaccarellu and Barbarossa, Comte Abbatucci’s Faustine rosé harmonises pleasure with fine dining. The nose reveals subtle notes of citrus, peach and red berries, as well as floral notes and a hint of spice. Following a lively attack, the palate unfolds with a supple, silky texture. A juicy hint of toffee adds an extra touch of indulgence. Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany grilled meats.
