The Radacini Metier Brut Rosé is a brilliant example of how traditional methods and innovative ideas converge at the Radacini winery. This sparkling rosé achieves its beautiful, soft pink color by briefly fermenting Pinot Grigio grape skins, a technique that imparts a delicate hue and adds a layer of complexity to the flavor. The 45 percent Sauvignon Blanc blend adds a refreshing vibrancy, giving the wine a delightful freshness and aromatic intensity. After aging for at least nine months on the lees, this rosé presents itself as a mature and well-structured wine. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of red currants and citrus, complemented by a surprising hint of refreshing menthol. These aromas make every sip a discovery of refined fruitiness and subtle complexity.
A Culinary Versatile Bubble
The Radacini Metier Brut Rosé is not only a pleasure to drink but also an excellent partner for a variety of culinary dishes. Its structured mouthfeel and fine, clean finish make it ideal as an aperitif, but also surprisingly versatile with dinner. It pairs beautifully with a shrimp cocktail or a duck breast salad with raspberry dressing, where the freshness of the wine enhances and balances the rich flavors of the dishes. For those with a sweet tooth, this rosé also makes a wonderful accompaniment to desserts such as white chocolate mousse with raspberries. Even at a festive occasion like a wedding, where a wedding cake is served, this sparkling rosé will be a tasteful and stylish addition.
