Lunaria Ancestrale Malvasia Pét-Nat 2022

The 2023 Lunaria Malvasia Orange Pét-Nat is a vibrant and intriguing sparkling wine from the Abruzzo region. This "Pét-Nat" (Pétillant Naturel) is crafted in the traditional méthode ancestrale. It is bottled before fermentation completes, resulting in a naturally sparkling wine with a touch of funk and effervescence. The wine showcases a striking amber-orange hue, characteristic of skin-contact wines. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, dried apricots, and a hint of orange peel are prominent, with additional notes of honey and a subtle, earthy minerality. It delivers a refreshing and slightly tangy flavor profile on the palate, with flavors of citrus zest, orchard fruits, and a touch of honey. The mousse is fine and lively, leading to a clean, refreshing finish.

Lunaria wines are certified as organic, biodynamic and vegan. The story of Lunaria began in 2003 when some winemaker members of the Cantina Sociale di Orsogna, already organic, embraced the idea promoted by the cooperative of managing the vineyards according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, sharing the importance of safeguarding the territory, its biodiversity, and agricultural experiences and traditions.
