From Frank: “Our rosé is produced with the same philosophy and vinification techniques as all our other wines: skin contact for texture and territorial identity, malolactic fermentation fully finished for density, fluidity and stability. Not only a refreshing summer wine, as this is a “rosé” which can also be regarded as a light red, like a “Jura” wine, pairing well with a variety of dishes.”
