The rosé Frizzante Puntorosa is, in the best sense of the word, what one would call a true estate cuvée. It literally brings together grapes from all the vineyards of Podere Sottoilnoce – thus reflecting the estate’s complete terroir and the full range of its grape varieties.
The vineyards extend from 180 to 300 meters above sea level, are mainly based on clay and marl, and are shaped by a climate that blends the warmth and humidity of the receding Po Valley with the cooler influences of the first Apennine foothills.
The grape varieties form a colorful mix: several members of the Lambrusco family, the locally typical white varieties Trebbiano di Modena and Trebbiano di Spagna, and the rare and fascinating Uva Tosca.
That this diversity of topography, geology, climate, and grape varieties results in such a deeply harmonious wine is due to the remarkable sensitivity Max Brondolo has shown since his first harvest in 2017. Added to this is his thoroughly artisanal approach, guided by organic and biodynamic principles in the vineyard, and a minimalist, non-interventionist philosophy in the cellar.
The result is a Frizzante that highlights aromas of herbs, lingonberries, and pomegranate, and flows across the palate with clarity, tension, precision, and length.
