Barbabolla

Marcobarba

The Barbabolla is a joyful pétillant-naturel field blend—great fruit unadorned. It’s a zippy, full-flavored bubbly with terrific minerality buoying notes of granny smith, biscuits, elderflower, grapefruit peel, apricot, and citrus juice. The only issue is how fast we drink it! Thankfully, it’s sessionable ABV makes it a terrific brunch or aperitif bottle.
