In the glass
Palate: fresh fruit
Fresh and fruity but elegant at the same time, a varietal Molinara rosato the estate positions as versatile at table and easy on its own.
What it pairs with
-
Bruschetta with tomato
The producer names it directly, and the acidity carries raw tomato. -
Fresh cheeses
Le Salette recommends fresh cheeses, which need lift rather than weight. -
Grilled sea bream
The estate suggests fish plates; a light rosato does not bury white fish.
History
Molinara is the pale, high-acid Veronese variety that has been steadily written out of Valpolicella blends since it became optional in the appellation rules. Le Salette bottles it on its own as a rosato, describing it as the estate's indigenous rose grape.
