Description
The “ancestrale” known abroad as “Pet Nat” diminutive of Pètillant Naturel, is the primordial form of sparkling wine-making, being a bottle-fermented wine. The grapes are lightly pressed to extract the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes, after which the must is fermented in steel at controlled temperature. Fermentation, having reached the right sugar content, is stopped with the use of a low temperature and the wine is immediately bottled. The remaining sugars and yeasts, at the first heat, trigger a second fermentation in the bottle that produces light, elegant bubbles. The ‘Ato’ Pet Nat are made with 100% Cortese di Gavi from Selected vineyards in the Municipality of Tassarolo, situated in the Gavi DOCG production area (Piemonte). The vineyard is Certified “Organic and Vegan” by BIOS; “Biodynamic” by AgriBioDinamica; “Organic” by USDA.
Tasting Notes :
The wine has Straw-yellow colour. It presents itself with a slight background of fine lees, so if you shake the bottle it will appear slightly veiled and richer to the taste. The bouquet is complex and intense scent with notes of fruit accompanying floral hints. The favors are rich, fresh, fruity with nuances of bread crust, yeast and citrus fruits.
