and rightfully so: typical renditions range from thin and diluted at their worst to lean

Floral on the nose with honeysuckle and acacia

Pico Maccario Lavignone Rosato, Piedmont, Italy 2022 Champagne Delamotte and rightfully so: typical renditionsPale salmon in appearance, Lavignone Rosato is beautiful to look at. It is even better to drink, however, as the nose and palate are met by playful aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon, cranberry, fresh cut grass, and river stone. A refreshing, but modest, backbone of acidity supports a round mouth feel and velvety texture. The dry and balanced finish leaves the palate feeling clean and refreshed.
