Forlorn Hope Dragone Ramato

Forlorn Hope's Dragone Ramato is a distinctive expression of Pinot Gris, a grape that, upon full ripeness, reveals a unique rosy, purplish hue due to its mutation from Pinot Noir. This wine showcases the traditional Italian "ramato" style, where extended skin contact during fermentation imparts a captivating copper color and enhances its complexity. 

On the nose, Dragone Ramato offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, stone fruits, and subtle floral notes. The palate is greeted with flavors of juicy peach, apricot, and a hint of wild strawberry, all balanced by a vibrant acidity and a gentle tannic structure from the skin contact. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of its unique character.

This wine's versatility makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from light salads and seafood to roasted poultry and charcuterie. Its intriguing profile also makes it a delightful choice for those seeking an adventurous departure from traditional white or rosé wines.
