AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

89% Glera and 11% Pinot Noir from vineyards on the alluvial soils of San Martino al Tagliamento near Pordenone in Fruili. Justin Bubb crafts his Prosecco rosé in the regionally traditional charmat method, and leaves the blend on lees to build further complexity. The resultant wine has a fine and persistent perlage, with a bouquet full of fruity raspberry and blackberry. It has a clean and crisp (but not overly dry) finish.

“Under his Italian wine brand BABO Australian winemaker Justin Bubb has produced one of the first prosecco rosés to reach Australia. Blended from 89% glera and 11% pinot nero from vineyards in San Martino al Tagliamento. It shows a fine and persistent bead, and a bouquet full of fruity raspberry and blackberry notes. With only 8g residual sugar, it has a fresh and crisp (but not overly dry) finish. Perfect.” Best Rosé Dozen for 2021, GT Wine, Feb 2021

About Babo

Back in 2009, Justin Bubb had spent almost a decade in Italy leading the transformation of the winemaking at famed winery, Castello Di Gabbiano. He had been sent there to help improve the winemaking and also be a conduit for the Australian owners at the time (South Corp). Originally only planning to stay for a short period, Justin was instrumental in growing the winery. He also was able to spend time working vintage in some of the most famed wine regions of Italy including Piedmonte, Veneto and Sicilia.

His time in Europe had also helped him see there was an opportunity to bring great quality Italian wines back to Australia. Having decided to return to Australia with Anna his new wife, he sketched out very briefly wanted to do:

•He wanted to produce great value Italian wines, so more Australians could fall in love with Italian wines (like he had)

•He wanted to shake any stuffy or old-fashioned stereotypes of Italian wine by offering contemporary wines styles that suited the wine savvy palates of Australia.

•He wanted to continue working with the amazing next work of growers and maintain the deep connection he had with his adopted country.

Taking an Italian nickname for a tool that measures ‘baume’ in fruit,

BABO was born.
