@ Pasticceria Marescotti, Genova

La Bambina is dedicated to strong women, to their power and energy, to their tireless motivation in fighting for their beliefs, to their talent for problem solving despite difficulties and complications.

It is the wine that I made against all advises that there was no future for such a rosé in the market and beyond expectation, at the winery and outside. The wine of rebirth and innocence, dedicated to those who take the challenge and trust their instinct, and are not afraid to break the rules. To those who live their life to the fullest.

I will present La Bambina with one of my dearest friends: Linda, smile and soul of Pasticceria Marescotti di Genova, an amazing historical venue in the heart of Fossatello, the small plaza surrounded by beautiful seventeenth-century buildings and full of the voices and colors of traditional street markets, where the popular songwriter Fabrizio De Andrè used to set his ballads, where old ateliers and businesses that have been operating for more than a hundred years live close to hot places and modern restaurants.

A feminine celebration of wine, music, commitment and a LOT of fun. In pink.
