Winemaker
Camillo Donati works in the hills near Parma, continuing a family winegrowing tradition. Organic farming and a preference for natural processes shape his approach.

Wine
Ribelle begins with Barbera picked early and pressed as a rosé. Natural bottle fermentation turns that fresh base wine into a frizzante. Red berry fruit and a dry, gently frothing palate. Barbera's acidity gives the bubbles purpose and makes the wine particularly good with food. Chill it well and bring it out with salumi, pizza or fried vegetables.

Origin
The vineyards lie in the hills of Sant'Andrea di Barbiano near Parma, at around 300 metres. Clay soils and a hillside setting distinguish the site from Emilia's flatter plain. Elevation and exposure help balance summer ripeness with the acidity useful for a fresh sparkling wine.
