2016 Le Pianelle - Coste della Sesia Rosato DOC MAGNUM (1.5L)

The 2016 Le Pianelle Coste della Sesia Rosato arrives in a 1.5-liter magnum, delivering extended serving capacity and improved pour consistency for groups while highlighting the precise structure of a high-altitude Northern Italian rosé. Cultivated on volcanic and marine soils within Bramaterra’s steep terraces, the Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Croatina blend develops under a cool microclimate situated well north of Barolo and Barbaresco. This elevated growing environment preserves naturally sharp acidity and slow fruit maturation, which traditional fermentation and minimal intervention winemaking steps then translate into a wine engineered for pacing.

The aromatic profile opens with red berry, wild herb, and violet, flowing into a savory palate defined by sour cherry, pomegranate, and a touch of orange zest. A pronounced saline character threads through the mid-palate and anchors the finish, echoing the mineral deposits that define the region’s geology. Vibrant acidity keeps the fruit lifted, ensuring the wine remains agile and food-friendly despite its substantive backbone.

Serve chilled to 48–50°F alongside:

• Grilled white fish or sea bass
• Hearty seafood stews with tomato and herbs
• A simple margherita pizza

The magnum size yields roughly ten standard servings, making this bottling a reliable choice for dinner parties, summer brunches, or casual gatherings where consistent freshness matters.
