Vini di Giovanni “Trebbiozzo” Sparkling Pet Nat

Trebbiano 

Biodynamic, non disgorged, all natural Sparkling Pet Nat 

UMBRIA, Pianello, ITA

A wine that certainly looks like one that could have been made in ancient times. Low alcohol, freshness abound, a quality that would be sought on hot days working in the vineyard. Lemon leaf, little touches of fruit but mostly a ripply, bubbly acid that snakes through the palate. Raised on the rocky, steep terrain of the Barbagia Mountains of Sardinia, Giovanni Battista Mesina moved with his family to Umbria as a child in search of more peaceful pastures, initially to watch over their sheep (Giovanni is a third-generation shepherd) and make cheese but now, Giovanni also makes cult status natural wines that are much-loved by people all over the world. The homage to his life is all over the beautiful hand drawn labels.
