Le Contesse Pinot Noir Brut Rosé NV Review

Sometimes, a wine shines on its simplicity. This Venetian pink bubbly defines that. It is a mineral-driven wine with a good amount of natural acidity. The palate is more about the slaking mouthfeel than it is about fruit depth. It’s structured and lively with an undeniable balance. This is the kind of seaside rosé you have been looking for to slurp down with lemon squeezed bivalves, or to serve at your at the wedding to raise all the eyebrows.
