Cascina Baricchi Jonny Gambato

A cloudy, bottle-fermented sparkling white, mostly Pinot Nero, that finishes its fermentation in the bottle.

Tasting notes

The estate describes an opalescent, summery white, fermented in bottle and easy to drink.

Pairs well with

Raw seafood, fried fish from the sea or the lake, vegetable tempura and, to the producer's delight, a good Neapolitan pizza.

Vinification
The six grape varieties are picked and pressed together as a white wine. The must ferments spontaneously on natural yeasts, first in tank and then in bottle: in March the wine, still fermenting, is bottled and finishes its last 10 to 12 g/l of natural sugar there. About 2,600 bottles a year.
