I.G.T. Alpi Retiche "Cerasum" Nebbiolo rosato 2021

Awards: Golden Rose in the "Rosa Rosati Rosé" Competition; Selected for the Guida al Bere Rosa

History: in 1986, as soon as he completed his Enology studies, Stefano Nera had the idea of experimenting for the first time the "vinification in pink” of Nebbiolo “Chiavennasca” grapes. Honestly, the result was a very interesting product, with fine and elegant aromas, with the right acidity and sapidity. It was undoubtedly a good wine, but the time was not yet ripe for that wine to be understood by the public of enthusiasts and connoisseurs. With the 2019 harvest this desire is transformed into reality, with the birth of the "Cerasum" Nebbiolo Rosè by Caven Vini.

Special features: The cherry color of the wine and its scent are clear references to cherries, hence the name of this wine, "Cerasum". Even the pale pink color of the label leads back to the fruit, as does the Camunian symbol depicted in the center of the pictogram, the 2 "spectacle pendants" which, according to the Camunian civilization (important traces of which have been found in Caven, just below the town of Teglio), symbolize ornaments or jewels, recalling cherry bunches.

Why buy it: because it is a versatile wine, excellent as an aperitif, cold cuts, first courses, fish, white and red meats, cheeses and, why not, with a good hamburger or a delicious gourmet pizza. Fresh, fragrant, tasty, in any case full-bodied and structured, it fully reflects the character of the noble Nebbiolo vine, of the territory that originated it and, of course, of the producer.
