“El Gat Ros was one of the favorite wines of a friend of mine who is not with us anymore. Simone managed, when fermentation was already over, to understand its structure and its potential and to agree with me that we should wait. A wine of strong character with hints of pepper, good body and fruit scent. Perfect with grilled meat, but also ideal with a simple slice of bread and salami.” Carolina Gatti.
