Pico Maccario Lavignone Rosato, Piedmont, Italy 2022 Champagne Delamotte Catena Zapata’s flagship is thePale salmon in appearance, Lavignone Rosato is beautiful to look at. It is even better to drink, however, as the nose and palate are met by playful aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon, cranberry, fresh cut grass, and river stone. A refreshing, but modest, backbone of acidity supports a round mouth feel and velvety texture. The dry and balanced finish leaves the palate feeling clean and refreshed.
