How to serve Primer Rosado

2. Serve at 8-10°C. Cellar temperature (8-10°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
3. Glassware. Use a flute or tulip-shaped rosé glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
4. Pair with. Gilda pintxo, Pintxos de autor, Grilled prawns. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
