2005 "i baci" Rosé

TFresh and elegantasting Notes:
A light and refreshing rosé with refined elegance.  Aromatics of flowers paired with ripe apples and pears are followed through with intricate plum, peach, floral, orange and lime juice that dominate the palate.  A delightful wine with light dishes of chicken and fish, or simply on its own.

Harvest Data:
Wines from around the world were sourced to produce the “i baci” brand produced by Pillitteri Estates Winery.  After a thorough tasting exercise looking for light, racy white wines with elegance, we purchased Pinot Grigio from Friuli Italy and Riesling from Clare Valley Australia.  Upon receiving the wines in Niagara, we blended a portion of these wines with Niagara Gamay Noir to provide colour and depth.  Just prior to bottling, the wine was sweetened to sugar code 4 for softness.  Best suited for immediate consumption.
