Description

Bright red fruits, succulent stone fruits, and a kiss of citrus dance with wildflowers, toasted bread, and melon in the effortless, elegant sparkling Bollamatta from Bibi Graetz. Bollamatta, or “crazy bubble” in English, is a rare Sangiovese sparkler, and this wine balances its juicy fruits with bracing acidity as it fills the mouth with tiny, persistent perlage. This sparkling wine is a mono-varietal Sangiovese crafted from the green harvest grapes for the estate’s Testamatta and Colore wines.

Bollamatta is our sparkling sangiovese, realised with the green harvesting of the old vineyards, 50-80 years old – dedicated to Testamatta and Colore production. In fact, the thinning process of the bunches is done slightly late in order to have the perfect concentration of sugar to realise a sparkling wine. Moreover, it also a process of recovering all these bunches, generally thrown away.

Once the harvesting is done, we destem and a very soft press the berries. Then we leave the skins with the juice to decant for 4-5 hours, in order to extract aromas and colour. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The prise de mousse – second fermentation – is obtained by natural fermentation in autoclave using the wine left in contact with its lees. This process is longer than usual, 5-6 months, therefore, this sparkling wine is classified as a long Charmat method.
