From the Alps to the Mediterranean, SFERA collaborates with small certified-organic farmers to bottle limited-run liters of wine.
Frecciarossa, located in Oltrepò Pavese, south of Lombardy, has been producing wines since 1972. They were the first winery to produce a wine for SFERA and continue to collaborate on this project.
Sfera Rosso is a chillable red with vibrant fruit notes of red and black berries, a medium body, gentle tannins, and a spicy black pepper finish.
