Albastrele Rosé 2020
Cimislia
We’ve brought you an ultra crisp white Pinot Grigio from Moldova's award winning Albastrele. Now here’s the rosé from this blush skinned grape. Delicate creamy redcurrant notes underscored by super citrusy zip, not unlike classic Provençal pinks.

We all know Pinot Grigio makes tongue tinglingly fresh whites, many from northern Italy. But with its pink tinged skins, this variety also makes an extremely appetising rosé. Albastrele captures all the citrus and stony crispness you’d expect of this grape, but also the delicate ripe berry fruit. Winemaker Vladimir Lazariuc is a master of the style, while a cold biting wind in the naturally organic vineyards ensures a lovely aromatic freshness, as well as healthy grapes. Moldova used to produce top quality wines that graced the courts of Russian Tsars. Today, with extra investment from abroad, Moldovan winemakers are well equipped to make them again. Chill and serve this crisp pink on its own or with all sorts of seafood or creamy risotto.
