🍇 Viticulture & Winemaking

Anaïs Fanti farms 1.5 ha of vines organically and biodynamically (Auxerrois, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer) in Ammerschwihr, inspired by Georgian maceration methods .
Azar Azar is crafted via carbonic maceration of Pinot Auxerrois on the marc of Pinot Noir, followed by 8 months aging on fine lees in stainless steel—no filtration or fining, minimal or no added sulfit.

🍓 Tasting Notes

A lively coral‑rosé with vibrant aromas of stewed berries, pepper, and pronounced minerality reflecting granite-derived soils . The palate is fresh and zesty, offering energetic red fruit alongside a pithy texture—“a vibrant and refreshing rosé, perfect for any occasion”!

🍽️ Food Pairing

Serve chilled at 6–8 °C. Pair it with sushi, Iberian charcuterie, summer salads, or simply enjoy as a playful apéritif .
