Leonardo Bussoletti Asla Pét-Nat

Asla Pét‑Nat feels like a celebration of Ciliegiolo’s playful side, captured through the ancestral method and bottled with a lively, unpolished charm. The wine comes from Leonardo Bussoletti’s meticulous work in Narni, where he champions native grapes with almost obsessive care. You’ll notice how the bubbles move—soft, persistent, never aggressive—creating a rhythm that feels both refreshing and quietly thoughtful. Its natural fermentation leaves a faint haze, adding texture and a sense of authenticity that many pét‑nats chase but rarely achieve. Each sip swings between bright fruit and savory undertones, giving the wine a dynamic personality. It’s the kind of bottle that turns casual moments into small celebrations. One glass often leads to another, almost without realizing it.

Tasting Notes: Nose Aromas jump from the glass with wild strawberry and crushed raspberry leading the way. A subtle floral lift—something like rose petal—adds elegance to the fruit. As it opens, hints of fresh herbs and citrus peel weave through the bouquet, creating a layered aromatic profile.

Palate: The palate starts with a gentle fizz that feels playful and inviting. Juicy red fruit flavors mingle with blood orange and a touch of savory spice. A faint grip from the natural fermentation adds texture, giving the wine a confident, tactile presence.

Finish: The finish lingers with notes of strawberry skin and citrus zest. A soft mineral thread carries the wine forward, adding clarity and freshness. As it fades, a whisper of herbal complexity remains, encouraging another sip.

Food Pairing: Pair this pét‑nat with prosciutto and melon for a bright, summery match. It shines alongside tuna crudo or salmon tartare. Try it with margherita pizza for a fun, effortless pairing. Soft cheeses like robiola or fresh chèvre also complement its lively sparkle.
