Silphium a plant so precious for the Romans, so rare and then driven extinct. This mythical story inspired us to create this very special and very limited cuvée.
Tasting Notes
Bright and vivid melon hues. Intense nose with citrus, honey and white flower aromas. Silphium is a rich and round wine, balanced with a soft acidity that leads to a sumptuous finishing with notes of pear, lychee, grapefruit peals with very distinguish tannins. Silphium remains a wine with a good ageing potential, which is not common for a rosé.
