Enzo is a 0/0 pet-nat of carbonic freisa - a lambrusco and supercar-inspired fast red bubbly named for Enzo Ferrari.

Ferrari water. A shared love for traditional and obscure Italian varieties brought us to the Siletto Family Vineyards in San Benito County. We weren’t familiar with Freisa, but it’s elongated, almost XL-mulberry cluster morphology made quite an impression from afar. We pulled an early season vineyard sample that yielded the most electric, watermelon-colored, strawberry-scented juice. It was an instant indicator that we had a strong candidate for the sparkling red wine we set out to create.
