A vibrant Italian rosé wine from the Veneto region, crafted from Pinot Nero for elegance, freshness, and effortless drinkability.

Tasting Note

Mabis, Biscardo Rosapasso is a delicate rosé that strikes a lovely balance between freshness and gentle structure. Pale pink in colour with a brilliant hue, it opens with aromas of wild strawberry, cherry, and a delicate floral lift that's typical of the Pinot Nero grape. On the palate, this Veneto rosé is smooth and harmonious, offering soft red berry fruit, a subtle mineral edge, and a refreshing, savoury note. It finishes long, clean, and lightly saline, making it a polished example of Italian rosé wine with real food-friendly appeal.

Top food pairings:

• Seafood risotto or linguine with prawns
• Grilled white fish with lemon and herbs
• Soft cheeses or light antipasti

Kate Says

"This is one of those rosés that feels just as at home on the table with food as it does enjoyed by the glass in the sun – elegant, understated, and quietly impressive."
