Barbichette, Pompette Rose Seneca Lake, 2025 tbo The palate is vibrant andBarbichette 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.

It's a New York summer in a glass: pale, dry, and refreshing. Get it cold and drink it on a porch.
