Drinking Window: 2018 - 2019
From a family company founded by the three Costa brothers in 1920 comes this traditional method sparkling rosé that spends several months on its lees, giving good creamy toastiness joined by bright raspberry fruit and a savoury apple note. Juicy and approachable, with fine mousse and weight.
