Corbinello
Nello 2022
Faedesfa

Grape Variety: Corbinello

Producer: Faedesfa (Alberto Buratti)

Region:  Rovolon, Colli Euganei, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 5/5

Winemaking: Organic Corbinello grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel. Must from the original harvest was then added to the wine on bottling to kick start a second fermentation inside the bottle. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Sparkling rosé made from a rare local grape variety that is known for its acidity. This is lively and fresh with an amazing concentration of red cherries. The extended time in bottle has brought the acid into check and now the wine displays a beautiful balance. We will revisit this pink Pet Nat over and over again this summer!

Notes on the Winemaker: Alberto Buratti farms just over 3 hectares of vines in the Colli Euganei region of Veneto. He grew up around these vineyards when his Grandfather worked them but it wasn't until 2019 that he took the plunge to take over full time. Now he works with local and international grape varieties that he grows organically and doesn't add anything in the winemaking process.
