Buccia Nera

Founded after a restructure in 2000, Buccia Nera is from a family farm that rebranded & redesigned itself from selling grapes for the local market, to creating their own wines that respect the environment, and provides a modern twist to Italian wine

Description

Buccia Neri Confondo Rosato 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: Ciliegiolo from Tuscany, Italy

Taste Profile: Lobster pink with beautiful opalescence. Yeast deposits clearly visible at the bottom of the bottle. At the opening the nose displays hints of yeast and bread making and then opens up with fruity aromas of cherry, wild strawberries, white currant and rose petals, and it is mineral at the finish. The taste is dry with a very delicate but persistent bubbles, fresh and savory with good length. Red fruits return at the aftertaste and finish. The mouth remains pleasantly dry and clean. The presence of bottled yeasts is an additional positive factor in the taste-olfactory part of the tasting.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
