{organic} 100% Cortese
MEYER LEMON & PEAR, WHITE PEACH & CHALK, PRETTY & SERIOUS
Sisters Paola, Francesca, and Anna Rosina started La Mesma as a passion project at the behest of their mother with no winemaking experience, now two decades later they’re producing some very exciting and award winning wines. “Le Rose” comes to us from the Tassarolo vineyards where the red clay soils rich in iron allow for more concentrated fruit flavors and aromas, particularly the classic lemony qualities the grape is known for. Delicate aromatics of chamomile and white peach unfold to a punchy palate of meyer lemon, grapefruit, and pear, closing with saline minerality and a nice long finish.
Serving Suggestions: Antipasti. Risotto primavera with asparagus, peas, and zucchini. Seafood paella.
