Casa Belfi Naturalmentefrizzante Rosso Biodynamic 12.5% (750ml)

To let Nature take its course respecting its rythms with mindful interventions both in the fields and in the cellar.
This is the philosophy of Maurizio Donadi, the winemaker who together with Albino Armani gave birth to the “Casa Belfi” project inspired by the biodynamic procedures.
Naturalmentefrizzante Rosso represents a modern interpretation of the traditional Raboso variety. It is a lively purple wine, with a fine perlage, slightly cloudy since it is unfiltered. Its expressive bouquet recalls scents of plum, raspberry, rubarb and liquorice. The sip is lively, imbued with freshness and balanced tannins. The finish is long and pleasantly bittering.
