An assemblage of a light and young character with refreshing energy, coming out of the bottle in golden nuances, the Roxanich Rovigno is arguably the superstar of the entire First Roses range.
Three varietals of Malvasia Istriana, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay are macerated and spontaneously fermented to embody the sun, the land, and the soul of Istria in a dry, soft and velvety white with pears flavors, dried fruit stones, a scent of nuts, minerality, and a hint of white pepper.
Tannins are alive and smooth, tickling across the palate. The aftertaste is soft, fresh and spectacularly long-lasting – like a memory of Istria’s most favored city.
