Camillo Donati Malvasia Rosa Frizzante 2023

Named in honor of Camillo's mother, this is full of wild plum and rich berry fruit flavors mingling with bright floral notes and earthy undertones. A blend of 95% Malvasia di Candia – mom's favorite – and 5% red grapes, it's expressly not a rosato, as Camilo explains: 'My intent has never been to make a rosé or a pink wine starting from my red grapes, as this would have involved vinifying the grapes in white, then clarifying them and finally filtering to reach the pink color: all operations to which I am clearly opposed! So, to get to a pink wine as I want it to be done – that is, in a completely natural and non-invasive way – there was no other option than that of the blend.' Makes sense to us but we also won't be mad to keep it on the roster as some of our favorite fizzy pink drink in the shop...
