History

Launched 16 years after the first Annamaria Clementi blanc, the Rosé extends the Riserva tier into Pinot Nero saigne. Eight years on lees position it as one of the few Italian rose Riservas with autolytic depth.

Frequently asked about Ca' del Bosco Annamaria Clementi Rosé Riserva

What does Annamaria Clementi Rosé taste like?

Wild strawberry, redcurrant, rose petal, brioche and almond cream on the nose; raspberry, blood orange and creamy patisserie on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity and a graphite-tinged long finish.

How does Annamaria Clementi Rosé differ from the blanc?

The Rosé is Pinot Nero-led (around 65 percent) with the rest Chardonnay, vinified saigne; the blanc is Chardonnay-dominant. Both spend a minimum eight years on lees in the Riserva tier.
