This low-intervention rosato is a pure varietal expression of the rare erbanno grape, a native variety related to the Lambrusco family. Winemaker Enrico Togni sources the fruit from steep, alpine vineyards in the Val Camonica sub-region of Lombardy. The grapes undergo a brief skin maceration and ferment spontaneously with native wild yeasts in neutral stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak wood masking. This zero-makeup process focuses on achieving a savory, full-bodied alternative that resembles a traditional Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo red profile.

It pour a deep cherry-pink color, releasing clean aromatics of wild sour cherry, field flowers, and fresh mountain scrubland. A robust, medium-to-full-bodied frame pairs savory red fruit flavors with an underlying chiseled mineral core. A gentle phenolic grip frames the mid-palate cleanly, balanced by a sharp beam of alpine acidity. Subtle notes of fresh soil and white pepper add depth across the textured mouthfeel. It finishes completely bone-dry and persistent.

Togni Rebaioli is Enrico Togni's mountain-wine project in Valcamonica, Lombardy, founded from the recovery of old family vineyards around Erbanno near Darfo Boario Terme. The steep terraces make machine work nearly impossible, so farming is largely manual and guided by organic and biodynamic principles. Local and regional varieties, including Erbanno and Nebbiolo, are fermented spontaneously and aged in cement or old wood with minimal additions. The wines are small-production, alpine and savory, carrying the freshness, herbs and vertical energy of a valley better known for rock carvings and mountains than for polished commercial wine.
