Piano Piano Sangiovese Rosé 2024 is a savoury, European-style rosé from a cool east-facing block in the King Valley — crafted from Sangiovese picked at ideal ripeness to deliver the cherry, spice, and confectionary character that defines this elegant style. Pale salmon pink with brilliant clarity; cherries, a touch of spice, and confectionary notes on the nose; cherry and spice flowing through to the palate with a textured, dry finish and the savoury complexity that cool-climate King Valley Sangiovese does so well. 75% stainless steel and 25% older French oak fermentation, no malolactic fermentation, and early bottling to preserve freshness. Drinking beautifully now.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale salmon pink with brilliant clarity — the fresh, elegant colour of a cool-climate King Valley Sangiovese Rosé crafted in the European style, with the precision and purity that night harvesting, gentle pressing, and early bottling deliver.
Aroma
Savoury and inviting — cherries, a touch of spice, and confectionary notes, creating an elegant bouquet characteristic of European-style Sangiovese rosé from the cool east-facing vineyards of the King Valley.
Palate
Cherry and spice flowing through from the nose — with the textured, dry finish and savoury complexity that define Piano Piano’s European-style approach. The combination of 75% stainless steel and 25% older French oak fermentation adding complexity whilst maintaining the freshness and balance that make this rosé so easy to enjoy.
Pairs With
A natural companion for antipasti, charcuterie, grilled prawns, Italian cuisine, Mediterranean salads, pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and soft cheeses — equally elegant as an aperitif or throughout a meal. Piano Piano Sangiovese Rosé 2024 is the King Valley at its most refined.
Finish
Textured, dry, and satisfying — cherry, spice, and savoury complexity fading cleanly and invitingly, leaving a fresh, precise close that is the hallmark of great European-style Sangiovese rosé and the Piano Piano commitment to cool-climate King Valley character.
