Jonny Gambato di Cascina Baricchi is a sparkling white made with a base of Pinot Noir (about 70%) and different white grape varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc. We are in Neviglie, near Barbaresco: the hilly territory of the Langhe has always been dedicated to viticulture thanks to the marly limestone soil and the fortunate climatic exposure, the Alps to the north protecting from cold winds, and the Mediterranean to the south mitigating temperatures. The six different grape varieties for this wine are harvested and pressed together with white vinification. The fermentation of the must occurs spontaneously thanks to the natural yeasts present on the grapes; in March, the wine, which has not finished fermenting yet, is bottled and in the bottle completes the last 10/12 grams/liter of its natural sugars.

JONNY GAMBATO CASCINA BARICCHI: TASTING

Jonny Gambato di Cascina Baricchi presents itself as an intense straw yellow, opalescent, with amber hues. On the nose, it smells of wild flowers, pear, aromatic herbs, and citrus fruits; on the palate, it is fresh, with creamy foam, a slight sapidity, and a pleasantly bitter finish. A playful and refreshing wine, perfect with pizza, but it can accompany the start of a meal both at a seafood table (for example, fried anchovies and sage) and a land table (for example, chicken breast meatballs).
