These two highly unlike varieties are vinified separately, with the Meunier harvested at a point that has nearly-overripe maturity to add notes of hibiscus, blood orange, and a gorgeous fuschia color. Paolo says he wanted something a bit more playful or distinct from the bracing, high-acid qualities of his core wines, so this rosato rifermentato was born of an effort to lean into robust fruit while still retaining the hallmark of the cantina. ‘Mangiafuoco’ is the name of the puppetmaster in the original Italian tale of Pinocchio, a nod to the fact that bringing these two very distinct grape varieties onto the same stage takes a special balancing act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193877303376,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/VillaPictaRosato.png?v=1775260881"},{"product_id":"villa-picta-melampo-bianco-frizzante-2022","title":"Villa Picta Melampo Bianco Frizzante 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA plump, puckering, and pleasing Lombardy bubble we are loving right now, ‘Melampo’ is a wine of balance, where the idea is to blend three varieties found in the region but not often found together: Pinot Bianco lends a fruit base, Garganega sapidity and structure, and Malvasia the aromatics. The Pinot Bianco is vinified separately, as the harvest of this variety is earlier, and the Garganega and Malvasia are cofermented and vinified together; all are done direct press in a vertical basket press, then raised in steel tanks. After settling throughout winter, the lots are blended together; at bottling in spring, fresh juice\/must is added to create bubbles (the traditional Italian rifermentato method). Unfined, unfiltered; the only SO2 added is a tiny amount in the pied de cuve used to prompt primary ferment. A joyful wine, with great acidity, balance, and easy lift, this is a melodic little number, with notes of angel food cake, skin of a white peach, saltwater, unripe apple acidity, and crunchy nectarine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193877368912,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/VillaPictaBianco.png?v=1775259825"},{"product_id":"villa-picta-sognare-sognare-metodo-classico-brut-nature-2022","title":"Villa Picta Sognare!

Sognare!’ is a Champagne method Lambrusco made with Lambrusco di Sorbara, the closest to the wild or 'sylvestris' origins of the Lambrusco vine which is known for its bright, refreshingly high acidity.  drawn from just one small parcel of around .4ha of Sorbara, or roughly 2,000 vines. It’s done direct press to transmit only the faintest bit of color, and, as vignaiolo Pasini puts it, to render only ‘the soul of the soil.’ Aged on lees in bottle for at least 20 months before hand-disgorging, the wine is further aged three-to-six months before release to ensure it is settled and showing its best. The name translates to “to dream, to dream”, and is taken from a song by Italian '70s prog rock band PFM; it represents the fulfillment of Paolo’s teenage dream of making a Champagne-method rosato from Lambrusco di Sorbara, to which we respond, what a teenager!   ‘Sognare’ is perhaps the most jeweled, mineral wine at Villa Picta, with rosy, delicate aromatics and light berry notes that soften the blade of Sorbara.  Lush n’ leesy, caramelized cherries, perfectly balanced tartness, translucent tannins, rose hip tea, wild strawberries, and a fine, creamy mousse. An ageworthy wine, and the tiniest production at the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193877499984,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/VillaPictaSognare.png?v=1775260862"}],"url":"https:\/\/biondivino.com\/collections\/villa-picta\/marche.oembed","provider":"Biondivino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
