Five Roses
Rosè IGT Salento
Obtained mainly from Negroamaro grapes, it conquests at first sight with the characteristic crystalline cherry-red colour and enchants with fruity scents of cherry and strawberry. In the mouth it is fresh, smooth and nicely persistent. Suggested with “risotto”, boiled meat and dishes based on seafood and white meat. Very good with “frisa salentina”. Serve at 10-12° C .

“Five Roses was one of Italy’s first quality rosé wines. The blend is 90% Negroamaro and 10% Malvasia Nera; its bouquet is redolent of ripe blueberry, raspberry and white almond. The fresh fruit component is pure and clean.”
