👃🏻 on the nose it expresses fruity aromas (especially of small red fruits) and floral hints, with a great and fresh finish;

👄 on the palate it is fresh, round and soft. The flavor and acidity are balanced and make the sip very pleasant and elegant. This rosé from Syrah grapes turns out to be a nectar of small red fruits. Freshness, roundness and softness are a constant surprise. The finish is perfectly fresh, for a rosé of rare elegance.

ORIGIN

TERROIR

We are in the Rhône Valley, one of the most important French wine regions, which over the years has been able to carve out an excellent place on the world scene. The local wine production is mainly concentrated on red grape varieties: Syrah and Grenache above all.
The most cultivated white grape variety is instead the Viogner.
The Rhone Valley is divided into two large sub-areas, southern and northern. The Rhône du Sud includes the areas of: Chateneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Tavel, Lirac, Muscat de Baumes-de-Venise and Rasteau. The northern Rhône includes the areas of: Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Château-Grillet, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Pèray.


WINERY

The Ricome family, owners of vineyards and winery since 1740, began marketing their wines in the mid-nineteenth century, receiving the first medal at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1855. In 1945 Charles Ricome decided to completely replant the vineyard and, in contrast to the region's winemakers, planted the Syrah, becoming the first vigneron in the region to produce wine from this grape in purity. It is since 1990 that Nicolas, son of Charles, has also included Grenache and recently the range of wines has become entirely organic.
