2008 Altana Rosato Frizzante
Perlage

From the Veneto growing region in Italy, this wine is made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.  It is made in the frizzante style-lightly sparkling; a serious Rosé wine that’s fun to drink. Delightful strawberry and peach fruit flavors, with a long, dry and complex finish. Pairs with lobster, scallops, appetizers, fruit.
