QUARTICELLO
Cascinaronchi Brut Nature 2021
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
As always this is the most complex and nuanced of Roberto’s sparkling wines. This vintage is composed entirely of Spergola, refermented in the bottle with a little must from the same harvest and disgorged after two years on the lees. The result is a crisp, clean wine with delicate bubbles and complex notes of citrus and minerals that punches well above its weight.

ORSI SAN VITO
Pignoletto Sui Lieviti 2022
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Pignoletto is a grape indigenous to the Colli Bolognesi. Federico harvests this from young, healthy vines planted over clay and limestone. It is fermented in vat, with a little of the must from the same harvest added to the bottle for the second fermentation. It is aged on its lees and never disgorged. A simple, yet extremely refreshing wine with texture and citrus in spades.

CERRUTI
Ri-Fol Rosato 2023
Piedmont, Italy
This beautiful sparkling rosato is made up mostly of Moscato that begins fermentation in concrete, before Ezio adds a dash of Freisa just before the wine is bottled with a little must from the same harvest. A gorgeous, pale shade of pink in the glass, the gentle fizz carries delicate notes of red berries, blood orange and sea salt.
