Agricola Villa Picta - Lambrusco Di Sorbara Brut Sognare! Rosato Metodo Classico 2020

This very special Metodo Classico Rosato is drawn from just one small parcel of around .4ha of Sorbara, or roughly 2,000 vines. It’s done direct press to transmit only the faintest bit of color, and, as vignaiolo Pasini puts it, to render only ‘the soul of the soil.’ The press is a vertical basket press; primary fermentation happens with a pied de cuve derived of white grapes (late-hanging Garganega); after the wine settles in tank through the winter, it’s bottled in spring with a standard liqueur de tirage to trigger secondary fermentation. Disgorgement happens between 18-30 months, depending. This is the third in the trio of jeweled, intensely mineral-driven wines at Villa Picta—with rosy, delicate aromatics and light berry notes that soften the blade of Sorbara. An ageworthy wine, the tiniest production at the winery.
