Le Bolle di Fognano is a pétillant naturel rosato made from 100% Barbera grown on the Foppiani family estate in the locality of Fognano, near Bobbio, in the Val Trebbia valley of the Colli Piacentini, Emilia-Romagna. The vineyards sit at 300 to 400 meters elevation on calcareous soils and are certified organic by ICEA. Winemaking is overseen by Giulio Armani of La Stoppa and Denavolo, who serves as enological consultant to Paolo Foppiani.
The wine is made via the ancestral method: Barbera undergoes a short skin maceration, then rests for approximately six months in stainless steel. In spring, the wine is refermented in bottle using its own grape must. The result is a lightly sparkling rosato with fine, creamy bubbles and no disgorgement. It is unfiltered and bottled with zero added sulfites.
In the glass it pours a pale salmon-pink with a slight haze from the lees. The nose is fresh and direct: red cherries, wild strawberry, and a faint earthy note underneath. On the palate, Barbera's naturally high acidity drives the structure, keeping the wine bright and lively, with a subtle savory finish that makes it unusually versatile at the table.
Filed under Emilia IGT. Serve well chilled, around 45 to 48F, and expect some sediment from the unfiltered, in-bottle refermentation.
