Barbichette, Pompette Rose Seneca Lake, 2025 tbo and for decades it soldBarbichette is a small natural wine project on Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, run by Louisiane Remy and Cesar Vega, who farm organically and work hands off: no added sulfites, no commercial yeast, no filtration. Pompette is a direct press rose of Pinot Noir, all bright and breezy, with grapefruit, bitter orange, and a savory snap of strawberry leaf. It's a New York summer in a glass: pale, dry, and refreshing. Get it cold and drink it on a porch.
