Pinot Nero-led organic Rosé from Barone Pizzini, awarded Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri. Wild strawberry, raspberry and rose petal over a creamy mousse.

What it pairs with

  • Tartare di salmone Find tartare di salmone on TableJourney →
    Raw salmon tartare finds a foil in the wine's wild strawberry and rose petal; high acidity scrubs the marinade fat.
  • Tortelli di zucca
    Pumpkin tortelli's sweet umami pairs with the wine's red apple and redcurrant; creamy mousse handles the burnt butter.
  • Pollo arrosto al rosmarino
    Rosemary roast chicken meets the wine's brioche aromatics; medium body holds up to the bird's roasted fat.
