Zanon | Boschera | Skin Contact Pet Nat | Natural Sparkling Wine
Made from a rare grape called Boschera, native to Veneto, Italy. There is less than 20 acres in the world, and we were the first to import this grape into the US!
Compared to the Prosecco grape (Glera), Boschera is more complex, and in fact this wine has been aged for over 3 years in the bottle on the lees.
With 2 days of skin contact giving it a deep yellow color, this native yeast fermented natural wine is then refermented with its native lees and then undisgorged, so it is unfiltered and continues to age on the lees too, allowing it to become more complex over time.
You can say it is a vintage & aged Pet Nat style, called Col Fondo in Italian. It has herbal, nutty and yeasty aromas and savory taste with a long saline finish. Pairs with many foods & throughout the meal, from appetizers to main course.
Type of Wine: White, Sparkling
Grape(s): Boschera
Alcohol % by Vol: 11%
Some pairings to try: Fish entrees and aged cheeses
Frignano Sgarbato Pet Nat Uva Tosca Organic Sparkling Natural Wine
Made from the rare Uva Tosca grape, which grows in higher altitudes in Emilia and is believed to be a descendant of Schiava Grossa, the Alto Adige red grape. Technically a rose wine, it is more like a light red, which looks and tastes like drinking cranberry juice as a sparkling wine. Refreshing and quaffable, with strawberries on the nose and a saline finish, it is great on its own or with light fare. While this grape does not impart much color, 2021 was a dry year, producing more concentrated fruit and color. It is naturally fermented and sparkling 'col fondo' ancestral, or pet nat, style wine.
Type of Wine: Rosé, Sparkling
Grape(s): Tosca
Appellation: Rosato di Emilia IGP
Vintage: 2021
Alcohol % by Vol: 11.5%
