Gran Cuvée Rosé
Pomegranate in color, with elegant and persistent perlage, its bouquet jumps out of the glass with ripe notes of cherry fruit, raspberry, red currant and wild strawberries confirmed on a fresh, flavorful and well balanced palate.
“The goal of the winery is to produce wines of excellent value and quality that can be enjoyed by all wine aficionados.”
