Raffy - Familia Zanchetta
Hedera Rosé of Malbec
Limpid and brilliant in appearance, it shows a pink color reflecting minimal-intervention winemaking and visual sophistication.
On the nose it is complex and seductive. Aromas of small red fruit stand out, such as white cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries, interwoven with floral notes and a subtle mineral undertone.
On the palate its gastronomic profile stands out: it has volume, a gentle entry and a firm structure that lets it hold its own alongside a variety of dishes. Its vibrant frame and balanced acidity bring a vertical freshness, culminating in a dry, persistent and highly elegant finish.
