from $26.98
Only 78 available

Made from the rare Uva Tosca grape, this dry Pet Nat tastes like drinking cranberry juice as a sparkling wine.

This producer, Frignano, is credited for reviving this forgotten grape which grows in higher altitudes in Emilia area of Northern Italy, and is believed to be a descendant of Schiava Grossa, the Alto Adige red grape.  

Refreshing and quaffable, with strawberries on the nose and a saline finish, it is great on its own or with light fare.  It is an unfiltered, bottle fermented 'col fondo' sparkling wine also known as ancestral method or Pet Nat style, and made with spontaneous fermentation like a natural wine.

Irene Balim and her partner Fernando have 15 acres of vineyards, in the Modenese Hills up 1800 feet high. They farm organically and make wine with native yeast fermentation from native varieties. Despite being in the heart of 'Lambrusco country', they differentiate by focusing on the ancestral method (aka Pet Nat) or classic method for their sparkling wines, instead of the 'usual' charmat method, and they focus on rare local grapes like Uva Tosca and Malbo Gentile.
