The Acid Freak is a creature born from laziness and lack of space. In the midst of a late fateful night at the winery pressing off some Riesling, the holding tank was about to overflow. There was extra juice in the press pan but nowhere to put it. Rather than clean a new receptacle, we glanced over and spied a half barrel of fermenting Dolcetto rosé. We said “F*** it, there is Riesling in Piedmont.”

The Acid Freak is now a staple of every Libertine vintage. It is both an homage to insane co-fermented blends that make no sense and “DO YOU HEAR THAT SOUND FROM THE PALM TREES RIGHT NOW?!?”

Like all other Libertine wines, it was wild yeast fermented in neutral oak. Other than a very small amount of sulfite, absolutely nothing was added to this wine. Unfiltered and unfined.
