Region – Emilia-Romagna

Do you know your pet-nat from your traditional method? Your Crémant from your col fondo? At Wayward the many ways with sparkling wine have always held a bit of magic for us.

The bubbles waiting to burst forth are the result of a unique fermentation that has taken place inside each individual bottle, from loose, low-key ancestral method spritz through to the tightly-moussed, needle-prick fizz of a regal Champagne or Cava.

Camillo Donati
Malvasia Secco 2021

Rustic, hazy sparkling orange wine, the Malvasia here leans to apricot marmalade, with a distinctly herbal note adding to the intrigue. A failsafe wine we turn to again and again! Find out more.

Quarticello
Despina 2022

A nourishing, ever-reliable sparkling wine of real generosity. Aromatic Malvasia keeps things zesty and floral - almost hoppy - on the nose, with lime and grapefruit citrus fruits aplenty. Incredibly easy-drinking Emilia fizz. Find out more.

Camillo Donati
Ribelle Rosato 2023

Another Donati gem, here we have a rosato of bottle-fermented Barbera, big on the candied fruits and lively wire of acidity. A wine that makes so much sense with your favourite takeout pizza! Find out more.

Orsi San Vito
Sui Lieviti 2021

Rustic, unpolished, unfiltered fizz. Salinity, zesty lemons & savoury depth. One of the first 'col fondo' wines we tried way back when and has been a firm favourite here at Wayward ever since. A big recommendation! Find out more.

Quarticello
Ferrando 2022

Fizz’ with bracing acidity, savoury spice and bitter herbs which make so much sense on a table alongside some cheese and charcuterie. ‘Ferrando’ is no exception - a beautiful sparkling rosato of Lambrusco Salamino. Find out more.

Cà de Noci
Sottobosco 2022

We've often likened this incredible Lambrusco-style sparkling red to a liquid summer pudding; there is the tart attack of forest fruits, but offset by a creamy, lactic element. As you'd hope from this style, the tannins grip keenly and there is an iron-y, sanguine quality to the dark wine. Find out more.

Camillo Donati
Lambrusco 2023

For many, Lambrusco is misunderstood - fortunately Donati is doing things the old-fashioned way. An invigorating wine; bone-dry with tart forest fruits and a bracing acidity that makes it the perfect foil for rich Emila-style dishes. Find out more.
