While the white Oudeis captures the complexity of the Alta Langa in its purest form, its pink-coloured brother adds another dimension: the soul of Pinot Nero. Because here it is the red grape alone that expresses the terroir. Saignée, the French word for "bloodletting", describes the method: a short maceration on the skins extracts just enough colour and fruit from the must to achieve that shimmering onion skin tone that shines so seductively in the glass. The grapes come from altitudes between 300 and 550 metres in the municipalities of Bubbio, Loazzolo, Trezzo Tinella and Vesime – the grapes come from calcareous clay soils, which give the wine its mineral tension. After manual harvesting, the grapes are cooled with carbon dioxide snow and the must is left to rest for two to four hours under nitrogen before gentle pressing. This is followed by six months of bâtonnage and 36 months of yeast storage in the historic cellar vaults.

Brilliant rosé in the glass with coppery reflections, fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, strawberry and redcurrant, wild flowers, a hint of candy floss, plus the typical bread crust from the long yeast ageing. On the palate, the wine is fruity and complex, dry yet inviting, with a perfect balance between freshness and creaminess. A rosé that conquers at first sight. SUPERIORE.DE
