Natty Bombo - Rosato Frizzante
A blend of organic Groppello, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Marzemino
A warm ruby-hued rosé in the bottle, then bright bubblegum pink in the glass, with a gentle but fine effervescence.

This wine is produced at the incredibly biodiverse and sustainably farmed vineyards of Cascina Belmonte, via ‘metodo ancestrale’, or the oldest, traditional ‘ancestral method’ of making sparkling wine: the fermentation begins in the tank after the juice is bled off these red grape skins, lending a true, rich rosy color and bright, electric look and feel to the wine, and involves no riddling or disgorging. A result of the brilliant work of Enrico DiMartino, whose commitment to reintroducing heirloom bees onto his family’s property is one of the key secrets to would otherwise lead to rot and other issues, leaving only the living grapes which fight through rough conditions to produce this amazingly balanced and incredibly delicious wine.
The nose is complex with peach, citrus, and floral notes, and the mouth feel is perfectly balanced acidity, minerality, and salinity, with a dry, fruity finish.
The gentle bubbles are elegant, delicate, and make this wine perfect for food pairings.
Perfect for pizza. Incredibly versatile for most meats, cheeses, or anything with a richness that would benefit from some balanced acidity and lightness. Especially well-paired with anything grilled, anything rich, and the perfect dinner date to anything on pasta.
