A pétillant naturel rosé from Donati Camillo in Emilia-Romagna, made from early-harvested Barbera draining off the skins without maceration and bottled before fermentation is complete — a manifesto of lightness, freedom, and joy.
Tasting Notes
Creamy and fine-bubbled, with bright red cherry, wild strawberry, and a refreshing acidity that comes from harvesting before full phenolic maturity. Bone dry on the finish. The Ribelle (rebel) name suits it perfectly — this is the opposite of heavy Emilian red. Excellent with charcuterie, pizza, or nothing at all.
