Winemaker's Review: "Produced from DOCG Pinot Noir, fermented in bottle in the metodo classico, estate bottled at our founder's Tenuta il Bosco in Oltrepo Pavese. Winemaker Luca Paschina selected the dosage with Stefano Ferrante at Tenuta il Bosco. Vivid qualities of rose in a champenois frame.
Personal Review: This weekend my girlfriend and I went up to Charlottesville and decided to visit the most renowned vineyard in the state, Barboursville Vineyards. Her family has been avid Virginia wine drinkers for a while so we have both become pretty well acquainted with Barboursville wines, but I did not realize that since they own land in Italy, they are actually able to bottle and sell a DOCG wine with an American name! This rose was deliciously crisp with just a hint of bright red fruit notes. I actually proposed this weekend at the vineyard (she said yes!) and this is the bottle we had to celebrate in the tasting room when we got back. I could not be happier with a wine to celebrate such an important occasion!
Proof she said yes!
