Golden yellow. Effervescent bubbles. Floral and brioche aromas on the nose. Nice balance between fat and freshness on the palate.
Rough Sam is a generous person and entirely devoted to his vines. He takes his time to mature his wine in the half-light of the underground tuffeau galleries and offer a cuvée full of freshness and vitality.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
