Feuduccio Cerasuolo
Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC)
This brilliant, cherry-hued rosé takes its name from cerase, local dialect for ‘cherries’. The latter’s aromas also characterize a bouquet laced with notes of plump yellow fruit, subtle musk and sun-dried flowers. Promises are kept by the well-balanced palate, which combines structure and refreshing acidity. From the beautiful estate ‘Il Feuduccio’, founded in 1996 by Gaetano and Maria Lamaletto.
