Marzemino Rosso Frizzante — Sparkling Red by Clapton Craft
A fizzy red wine. From Italy. Made from a grape that's been doing this for centuries. Marzemino Rosso Frizzante is 100% Marzemino from Treviso — juicy, fragrant, and lightly sparkling with sweet violet, raspberry, and plum. If you've never had a sparkling red, this is where to start.
Marzemino — the grape you need to know
Marzemino is a dark-skinned Italian variety native to northern Italy that's been used in sparkling red production for centuries. It's not a gimmick or a modern trend — this is a traditional style with real pedigree. The grape produces wines with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and aromatics that lean towards berries, violet, and dark plum. In its frizzante form, it's light, lively, and impossibly drinkable. Mozart was reportedly a fan, which is a decent endorsement.
Juicy, fragrant, and genuinely fun
Sweet violet and raspberry on the nose, with ripe Doris plum underneath. On the palate, soft tannins and bright acidity balance the ripe fruit, while the gentle fizz lifts everything and keeps it fresh. This is not a heavy, serious red — it's a joyful one. Serve it slightly chilled and watch it disappear. Works brilliantly as an aperitif or alongside charcuterie, pizza, and anything Italian.
The case for sparkling red
Sparkling red wine confuses people until they try it. Then it makes complete sense. The carbonation cuts through the fruit weight, the chill makes it refreshing, and the whole thing becomes something you want to drink rather than analyse. Marzemino Frizzante is the perfect gateway — it's approachable, unpretentious, and the kind of bottle that converts sceptics. Explore more in our sparkling wine collection.
About Clapton Craft
Clapton Craft has been curating organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention wines from small growers since 2014. Their Italian selections are particularly strong — they understand that Italy's regional grape varieties deserve the same attention as the famous French ones. The Marzemino is a perfect example: a wine most UK shops would overlook, picked by people who know that the interesting stuff often sits outside the mainstream. Also from Clapton Craft at Natty: Cantine Ermes Carricante, Moinho Velho Vinho Verde, Nouvelle Vigne Bordeaux, and Tradizione Antica Prosecco. Browse the full Clapton Craft range.

What is Marzemino?
Marzemino is a dark-skinned grape variety native to northern Italy, particularly the Treviso area. It has centuries of history in sparkling red wine production. The grape produces wines with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and aromatic berry and violet character. Mozart was reportedly a fan.
