Le Pianelle, “Al Posto Dei Fiori” , Rosato, Coste della Sesia 2024

Azienda Agricola Le Pianelle purchased more than 50 small lots in Alto Piemonte from 2004 to 2018. Their farmhouse/winery is in Brusnengo, opposite 1 of their vineyards. Currently 12 acres are producing mostly Nebbiolo & small amounts of the native Croatina & Vespolina. We have never visited but summer requires rosé & this was my favorite of the dozens I recently sampled. Style: dry, rosé | Grape: Varieties: 97% Nebbiolo & 3% total Vespolina & Croatina | Soil: yellow sands & volcanic porfiric red/orange sand | Fermentation: 90% stainless steel & 10% used oak barrels | 656 cases produced | Pairs with: Cioppino, light tomato based pastas, & more | Alc: 13.87% | Retail: $30
