Lunaria Orsogna Ancestrale Pet Nat Sparkling Malvasia Orange Wine

Dive into the intriguing world of orange wine with the Lunaria Orsogna Ancestrale Pet Nat Sparkling Malvasia. This naturally sparkling wine, produced through the ancient méthode ancestrale, showcases the raw and authentic expression of the Malvasia grape. Crafted by the innovative Lunaria Orsogna winery in Abruzzo, this Pétillant Naturel is a vibrant celebration of biodynamic farming and artisanal winemaking.

An orange, biodynamic wine made using Method Ancestral: whole bunches of grapes are gently pressed to extract both the juice and indigenous yeasts from the grape’s skin. This is fermented in stainless steel tanks then bottled where it undergoes its second fermentation creating a gently sparkling wine.

Nose: The nose is a complex layering of aromatic citrus peel, apricot, and floral notes, underscored by an intriguing yeasty character due to its natural fermentation.

Palate: On the palate, this orange wine bursts with lively flavors of orange zest, stone fruit, and a hint of honey. Its fine bubbles and light tannic structure provide a unique mouthfeel that's both refreshing and substantial.

Finish: Finishes with a crisp and tangy aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression, making it a memorable and enjoyable sip.

Lunaria Orsogna Ancestrale Pet Nat Sparkling Malvasia is superbly versatile with food. Its bold flavors and sparkling nature make it an excellent match for fatty fish like salmon, or rich poultry dishes. It's also a natural fit with Asian cuisine, balancing the spice and complementing the umami flavors. For a cheese pairing, try it with aged hard cheeses for a delightful contrast.
