Bibi Graetz, Bollamatta BIO, Spumante (Sparkling) Natural Rosé, NV
This beautiful sparkling wine comprised of 100% Sangiovese has a medium-body and is perfectly balanced with fresh fruity notes, cherries, almonds and fine acidity.
Winemaking Notes
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed allowing the must to settle. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel.
Vineyard Notes
50 to 80 year-old vineyards trained in the Guyot and Goblet style on galestro-rich, clay soil.
To Bibi Graetz, the NV Bollamatta is all about fun. The wine is crazy fun to make (he tells me) and crazy fun to drink (I can confirm). Made in the Charmat method, this cheerful Italian sparkler is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Trebbiano. It opens to a pale pink colour and delivers large, round bubbles that are tonic and sharp. The bouquet reveals wild berry, citrus and raw almond. The wine is extremely refreshing, and those prominent bubbles serve to brighten and liven up the palate. This wine follows in the footsteps of one of Italy's most irresistible and successful wine trends: the everyday sparkling wine. 90 Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (2018).
