Pinot Nero-led Rosé Dosaggio Zero from Cavalleri. Wild strawberry and rose petal aromatics stripped of dosage sugar.

What it pairs with

  • Crudo of red shrimp
    Sweet red shrimp meat finds a peer in the wine's wild strawberry; saline minerality echoes the shellfish brine.
  • Tonno scottato al sesamo
    Lightly seared tuna with sesame crust meets the wine's pomegranate and rose petal lift; high acidity cuts through the sesame oil.
  • Carpaccio di branzino al limone
    Raw sea bass with lemon finds a foil in the wine's blood orange and saline finish.

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.
