About this wine
A non-vintage Spumante Metodo Classico from Bricco Carlina, made from 100% Barbera vinified as a blanc de noir. An unconventional choice of base grape for traditional-method sparkling wine, reflecting the estate's playful, experimental streak.
A fun, conversation-starting sparkler for those who think they know what Barbera tastes like.
