Details
This is a gorgeously pale pink rosé with lovely fresh notes of pears and some red cherry. On the palate there is a lovely citrus freshness that marries effortlessly with a creamy texture, making this wine perfectly balanced.

Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour of wine is actually from pigments found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know… Wednesday happens or something. Fun Fact: Usually, the lighter the colour of the rosé, the lighter the wine is.

Pairing guide
Beautifully delicate with a deliciously floral bouquet, this elegant rosé from Poggio Alto is a joy to pair with light lunches, shared with a friend. Fresh salads, lightly-grilled or roasted fish and seafood dishes, charcuterie boards and an array of aged cheeses and nuts - all will make for truly unforgettable pairings. It’s also going to be great with vegetable and chicken risotto, simple pasta dishes, and anything featuring plenty of fresh tomatoes.
