Arcese Pét-Nat 2018

£19.95

Arcese is a joyous jewel of a white sparkling (ancestrale method) natural wine, bursting with freshness, conviviality, and a plethora of subtle territorial nuances. Born from organically farmed Arneis, Cortese, and Favorita, all typical ancient Piemonte varieties, which are directly pressed without being destemmed, and fermented spontaneously in steel tanks before aging no less than 9 months. It goes in the bottle with residual sugar in order for the second fermentation to take place, and bubbles to develop. It’s a radiant wine of infectious and vibrant vitality, sporting truly memorable drinkability. It sings with bright notes of chamomile, ripe citrus, honeysuckle, lavender, and yellow plum.

Producer Profile

Vittorio Bera

Now led by brothers Vittorio, Gianluigi, and Alessandra, Vittorio Bera winery's heritage stretches back to 1758, when their ancestor Giovanni Battista first acquired the estate. Located in Piemonte’s Astigiano hills, an area imbued with viticulture since ancient times and renowned for its Moscato, Bera winery converted to organic agriculture in 1964 and is now comprised of about 10 hectares. No winemaking shortcuts of any kind are to be found in the cellar, where the goal is always to distill and exalt the truest spirit of terroir. Therefore only natural fermentations are allowed and the wines are never scarred by fining, filtration, or other invasive treatments and additives. Every single natural wine by Bera is a joyous love song to this ancient and beautiful land.
