Elvio Tintero Vino Rosato 2022

Description

This crisp palate opener from Marco Tintero blends the juice from red-skinned Barbera—a Piemontese staple—with a touch of local white varieties that Marco grows for other bottlings: his Arneis and floral Moscato. While “lifelong winemaker” would be enough to decorate his résumé, Marco also happens to be a salumiere hobbyist, meaning he makes homemade pork salumi, which pairs particularly well with his Rosato. Seasoned with sweet spices like clove, cinnamon, and peppercorns, the salumi is the perfect foil to a Barbera-based quaffer like this one.

This sustainable Italian winery founded in 1900 has been family-owned since it’s creation. This delicious, lightly sweet rosé is easy drinking with the slightest amount of bubble which makes this a perfect summer sipper. With notes of lemon and raspberry this can be paired with a fish dish or soft cheeses.
