Damiani Dry Rose 750Ml

This Pinot Noir based rosé has a bit more depth and intensity to its lovely Provence-esque, salmon pink hue than past vintages. The nose opens with a rather taut minerality; notes of slate, flint and limestone are the first impression, followed by tart fruit notes of under-ripe strawberry, cranberry and rhubarb. The first thing you notice on the palate is the fizzy, tingle of bright acidity. Moving on, the fruit shows itself first with a sweeter strawberry, cranberry holds as well, but the finish is surprising; notes of a tart-sweet red apple, similar to Esopus Spitzenburg, reputed to be Thomas Jefferson’s favorite apple, and mine too! Pairs with: Bright Seafood - Lobster Roll, Seared Scallops, Grilled Shrimp Rich, Creamy Foods - Asparagus & Hollandaise, Risotto Primavera Dessert - Peach Cobbler, Strawberry Tart with Pastry Cream
