A pét-nat from La Biancara in Gambellara, Angiolino Maule's volcanic Garganega refermented in bottle on dried grape must — crunchy, refreshing, and alive, with none of the fuss of conventional sparkling wine.
Tasting Notes
Green apple and mineral freshness on the nose, with a hint of spice. Brilliant and lively in the glass. The palate has crunchy citrus and green fruit, intense minerality from the volcanic basalt soils, and a gentle natural fizz. Brilliant value sparkling Garganega, and one of the more interesting pét-nats in the natural wine world.
