Charmat Rosé Sparkling Bollamatta by Bibi Graetz

Bollamatta is a Charmat method rosé sparkling wine crafted by Bibi Graetz, made from 100% Sangiovese selected from the most suitable vineyards of the estate. It is a wine designed to express immediacy, character, and pleasantness, with a profile that combines the tradition of the grape variety with a fresh and contemporary interpretation. Its soul is convivial and refined, perfect for those seeking a versatile, elegant Italian sparkling wine with a dynamic sip.

Territory and wine style

The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes sourced from historic vineyards, the same areas used for Testamatta and Colore, with vines aged between 50 and 80 years. The choice of the Charmat method enhances the most fragrant and direct aspects of the grape variety, preserving its territorial identity. The short maceration on the skins contributes to the bright rosé color with coppery hues and aromatic definition, while the refermentation in autoclave adds liveliness, finesse, and a pleasant bubble.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright rosé tending towards copper, luminous and inviting. On the nose, small red fruits, wild strawberries, orange peel, and aromatic herbs emerge, creating an elegant and delicately expressive ensemble. On the palate, Bollamatta is creamy, fresh, and lively, with a savory and well-balanced texture. The sip flows easily but does not lack personality, finishing with a pleasant, clean, and surprisingly persistent aftertaste for this type of wine.

Recommended pairings

The versatility of Bollamatta makes it ideal as an aperitif, but also at the table with light and flavorful dishes. It pairs well with fried fish, delicate raw dishes, tartare, finger food, not overly aged cured meats, savory pies, and seasonal first courses. Its freshness and savory component naturally accompany vegetable-based preparations, roasted chicken, or simple and fragrant Mediterranean cuisine.

Serving temperature

Serve Bollamatta at a temperature of 6-8 °C to enhance its freshness, fragrance, and pleasantness. It does not require decanting; simply uncork and pour gently to preserve the finesse of the perlage and aromatic clarity.
