Frequently asked about Cavalleri Dosaggio Zero Rosé
What does Cavalleri Dosaggio Zero Rosé taste like?
Wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, rose petal and chalk on the nose; redcurrant, blood orange, saline minerality and brioche on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long, mineral finish.
What does Dosaggio Zero mean for the Rosé?
No liqueur d'expedition is added at disgorgement. The Pinot Nero saigne base is stripped of dosage sugar, exposing the grape's natural acidity and the chalky moraine-hill minerality.
When should I drink the Dosaggio Zero Rosé?
Drink within 0 to 8 years of disgorgement. Younger releases lead with bright wild strawberry; older releases trade fruit lift for brioche and chalk depth.
