Frizzante & Spumante
Italy is bubbling at every turn. Bottle-fermented Lambrusco from Emilia and the occasional Prosecchi produced in the best artisan style are quite rightly experiencing a boom. Brilliant Frizzante and Spumante are also coming from the long ridiculed Oltrepò Pavese and even Franciacorta is slowly recognising the signs of the times and producing more sustainably and at the same time more courageously. In addition, countless winegrowers across the country are also working on the tradition of Rifermentato - Frizzante, whose secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle and usually without dégorgement (removal of the lees) - and are thus making a decisive contribution to the establishment of the rediscovered sparkling wine style.
Ca 'de Noci: Tree Dame 2021
Wein
- €23,90
On the label of the Tre Dame from Ca' de Noci you can read the following, possibly not entirely irony-free sentence: "Vino Frizzante da rifermentazione in bottiglia ottenuto dalle vigne di Sgavetta e rare varietà autoctone...". In German, this means: "A Frizzante created by secondary fermentatio...
Pranzegg: Miau! 2022
Wein
- €21,90
Martin Gojer's "Miau!" is a rosato frizzante fermented according to the metodo ancestrale. The metodo ancestrale is currently on everyone's lips under the name Pét-Nat (short for pétillant naturel) but is actually an old method of sparkling wine production. Martin Gojer uses the grapes of old Lag...
Davide Spillare: L1 2021
Wein
- €17,90
The name L1 is derived from the name of Davide Spillare's upper lumbar vertebra, which was broken in a tractor accident a few years ago (as good as the L1 tastes to us, we hope that there will be no L2). The L1 is a Rifermentato, i.e. a wine that undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle afte...
Ca 'de Noci: Le Rose 2020
Wein
- €28,90
There are white grape varieties that are best suited to classic vinification (Riesling, Sylvaner, Vernaccia, Pecorino...). Others do well both macerated and immediately pressed (Ribolla gialla, Vermentino, Timorasso, Nosiola, Fiano, Garganega...) and then there are those that only show their true...
Ca 'de Noci: Querciole 2021
Wein
- €20,90
Querciole is a frizzante made from Spergola that makes almost everything that comes from Prosecco look old and rather bland. The intention may be similar, but what Ca' de Noci bottles year after year for secondary fermentation is usually miles ahead of its much more famous frizzante colleagues in...
Bergianti: Perfranco 2021 (Rosato Frizzante)
Wein
- €22,90
Lambrusco comes in all possible shades of red, depending on which variety of the Lambrusco family you are dealing with. Rarely, however, there is also a pink version, which is in no way inferior to its red counterparts in terms of quality (incidentally, we are not the only ones who find this to b...
Ca 'de noci: Sottobosco 2021
Wein
- €19,90
"Lambrusco is the fuel of the futurists." (Filippo Tommaso Marinetti) "Lambrusco is the red champagne." (Arrigo Levi) "Lambrusco is the nectar of the gods." (Francesco Guccini) Not everyone may agree with these sentences and perhaps it would be better to put them in the subjunctive, but Lambru...
Barranco Oscuro: Ensayo de Burbujas Brut Nature 2016
Wein
- €24,90
For centuries, Vigiriega was one of the most important white grape varieties in the south of Spain. It was at home on the Canary Islands and in the area around Granada, but then phylloxera came and killed it off - for good. The fact that it exists again today is due in part to Manuel Valenzuela,...
Čotar: ČRNA 2016
Wein
- €32,90
The ČRNA is a foam wine made of teran, which is produced according to the mèthode, and an authentic representation of the properties inherent in it. So there is no shortage of acidity and tannin, nor. Even if Father & Son Čotar orientate themselves from the champagne when it comes to the wine gro...
Bergianti: Steve 2019
Wein
- €19,60
Gianluca Bergianti combines old techniques in the vineyard and in the cellar with his personal - biodynamic and minimally invasive - signature. He uses local grape varieties for his wines, a lot of Lambrusco, but in the case of "Steve" the white Pignoletto. Thanks to its high basic acidity, it ma...
Ca' de Noci: Riserva Defratelli 2016
Wein
- €39,90
Some grape varieties make the leap beyond local borders, others do not, although it is not always clear why. Spergola has a subtle flavour that is reminiscent of white flowers when classically vinified. If the grapes are left on the skins for a while, orange peel and clove flavours are often adde...
Aldo Viola, Brutto 2022
Wein
- €17,90
A frizzante from Catarratto by Aldo Viola. Produced according to the metodo ancestrale, i.e. by secondary fermentation in the bottle without subsequent disgorging and dosing. There are several possible explanations for the BRUTTO (Italian for ugly) in the name and the duck on the label. Firstly...
SRC Rosato Frizzante 2019
Wein
- €24,20
Nerello Mascalese, misappropriated and groundbreaking. The brilliant variety from Mount Etna is not only suitable for full-bodied and elegant red wines, it also makes an excellent protagonist for finely chiselled sparkling wines: Pinot Noir, to which it is often compared, sends its regards. Cult...
Castello di Stefanago: Spumante Brut Nature "48" Ancestral Bianco '
Wein
- €29,90
Antonio and Giacomo Baruffadi from the Castello di Stefanago lead a gradual group of winegrowers who demonstrate with their bubbling versions, which is slumbering potential in the floors of South Lombardy. The two brothers mainly produce sparkling wines that are produced according to the Metodo A...
Bergianti Rosso 2014
Wein
- €17,90
Lambrusco is a single big misunderstanding that fades into several small ones. One of the smaller ones is, for example, that Lambrusco is the same as Lambrusco is called, it is said that a single grape variety is made. Instead, Lambrusco is a grape family family that consists of many different me...
