Tasting Notes
Intense and bright pink colour. Strawberry and raspberry are the first smells perceptible to the nose. There is also a good bouquet, fresh white blossoms. On the palate the wine is fresh and straight, the smooth fruity parts are in contrast to a great minerality. A “slender” wine not so complex, it is perfect during the aperitif, a wine for every meal.

Food Pairing
The main expression of Doline Aglianico is its fruity part, it has a medium alcohol content and a great freshness. A pleasantly informal bottle of rosé wine.

TECHNICAL PAIRING: Pasta with ragù of swordfish.
“HEART PAIRING”: Salmon fillet in a toasted almond crust.
