Otobbor

Otobbor is a natural wine crafted by Crocizia, in the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy. This sparkling wine is made with Barbera grapes, so a red Pet Nat.

Expect earthy undertones and hints of spice.

Nose: unusual mix of sweet plum, slightly rotten blackberry and farmhouse vibes from my childhood.

Taste: fresh, juicy and vibrant in the beginning but later you get a particular grippy green taste of stems.

Not for everyone but an intense-red-wine-lovers should appreciate this unusual type of a mild sparkling wine.
