This is perhaps vignaiolo Paolo Pasini of Villa Picta's most experimental wine, or the least traditional—Pinot Meunier is the foreigner; Lambrusco di Sorbara the electrifying spine of the wine. These two highly unlike varieties are vinified separately, with the Meunier harvested at a point that has nearly-overripe maturity to add notes of hibiscus, blood orange, and a gorgeous fuschia color. Paolo says he wanted something a bit more playful or distinct from the bracing, razor-sharp qualities of his core wines, so this rosato rifermentato was born of an effort to lean into robust fruit while still retaining the brisk hallmark of the cantina. (Side fact: ‘Mangiafuoco’ is the name of the puppetmaster in the original Italian tale of Pinocchio; a nod to the fact that bringing these two very distinct grape varieties onto the same stage takes a special balancing act.)
