Pikasi Barbera Rose 2023

Pikasi is the passion project of Matic Rodica, a young winemaker from Istria, who also has close family ties to the Vipava Valley. This wine region is located on the western side of Slovenia bordering the Italian wine appellations of Friuil and Collio. It is in the Vipava Valley that Matic works with close friend and vine grower, Petr Stegovic, sourcing sustainably-farmed, indigenous grapes to create a lineup of naturally-fermented varietal wines – Pinela, Zelen, Rebula, Barbera and Barbera Rose. Matic is also a professional ballroom dancer and all of the Pikasi labels are adorned with art inspired by his own dance photos. Matic's Pikasi wines are made in a fresh and approachable style and offer a pure and balanced expression of each grape varietal.

Pikasi Barbera Rosé entices with scents reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb pie, offering a creamy texture with a subtle saltiness and a lingering aftertaste. Its light pink hue complements fruity aromas of fresh red berries. Dry on the palate with a distinct freshness, it presents an elegant, fruity flavor profile.
