Cricova Rosé Semidry

Cricova Rosé Semidry is a pink, semi-dry sparkling wine at 12.5% ABV, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes by Cricova, Moldova's famous winery. Cricova is a wine house known for its vast underground cellars, converted from old limestone quarries.

What does Cricova Rosé Semidry taste like?

It has a delicate pink colour. Blueberry, blackberry, redcurrant and apple aromas stand out on the nose; retailer descriptions also mention blackcurrant and floral notes. On the palate, a balanced acidity keeps the fruity structure fresh. It finishes with a long, fruity aftertaste. Its semi-dry style gives a noticeable but not heavy sense of sweetness.

What sets Cricova apart?

Cricova's cellars consist of tunnels stretching for kilometres underground through old limestone quarries. The constant coolness and humidity there provide favourable conditions for maturing wines and sparkling wines.

How should it be served, and what food does it pair with?

The retailer recommends serving it at 8–10°C in a flute glass. It is a relaxed choice for raising a toast at celebrations. It pairs well with fruit desserts, forest-fruit tarts and meze platters made up of light starters.
