2023 Lunaria Orsogna 'Pet Nat' Ancestrale Pinot Grigio Brut Nature

Experience the effervescent joy of Lunaria Orsogna Pet Nat Ancestrale Pinot Grigio Brut Nature, a sparkling gem from Abruzzo’s Terre di Chieti. Crafted by Cantina Orsogna’s progressive cooperative, this 100% Pinot Grigio is grown on certified organic and biodynamic vineyards with clay-calcareous soils. Made via the ancestral method, it’s fermented with native yeasts, bottled mid-fermentation without added sugar or yeast, and left unfiltered, yielding a hazy pale gold hue. Bursting with ripe pear and wildflowers, it’s perfect for festive gatherings or sunny aperitifs. This bone-dry, vibrant pét-nat captures Abruzzo’s natural spirit with a lively fizz and mineral finesse.

Nose: A vivid bouquet unfolds with ripe pear, green apple, and strawberry, accented by white flowers, lemon zest, and a hint of yeasty brioche. It’s aromatic and playful.

Palate: Light and fizzy, the palate dances with candied citrus, tart apple, and a touch of peach. Crisp acidity and a creamy mousse balance a subtle chalky minerality. Effortlessly refreshing.

Finish: Citrus and a saline, stony note. It’s vibrant, urging another sip with rustic allure.

This pét-nat is a versatile sparkler. Pair it with fresh oysters or fried calamari for a coastal match. It shines with soft cheeses like ricotta or bruschetta topped with tomatoes. For a casual vibe, try it with popcorn or spicy Asian snacks. Its lively acidity and bubbles elevate light, zesty dishes.
