Longview Nebbiolo Rosato 2022

The most awarded rosé in the country, Longview set out to make a dry, European-style wine back in 2005. Nebbiolo was the perfect grape to do so. A beguiling rose-water hue with glints of copper immediately draw one in. Out of the glass lifts a remarkable perfume of fresh red berries, pressed flowers, nectarine skin and the trademark Nebbiolo whiff of star-anise. In the mouth it’s a refreshing hit of white stone fruit flesh culminating in a zippy citrus-juice finish that cleanses the palate and sets it up for another sip.
Raspberry. Flowers. Anise. Zippy. Dry. Mouth-Watering.
Perfect pairing—Anything with crab.

Winemaking
The famed 1-11 clone of Nebbiolo makes up the majority of the blend for our Rosato. Known in Italy as the rosato clone, it ripens early and is known for its amazing perfume lift. We incorporate 230, F12V13 and F12V7 into the blend for their fruit weight and structural components. Our 23 year old Nebbiolo vines are all cane pruned, shoot thinned early and bunch thinned twice to ensure low yields and even ripening. Wire lifting and leaf plucking is performed for air circulation late in the season to improve drying conditions. The fruit was hand-picked, then chilled to 10˚C. It was then crushed, de-stemmed and the free run juice separated and fermented for this light rosé style.
