2021 I Pastini Spumante Brut (Verdeca)

Founded by Gianni Carparelli and his father Donato, I Pastini grow their grapes on land their ancestors worked: a beautiful limestone plateau overlooking the Adriatic Sea that is co-planted to ancient, (multi-millennia old), olive groves. They are certified organic and use native yeasts in the cellars.

This bubbly is made from the Verdeca grape- an aromatic variety native to the Valle d'Itria in Puglia. The wine making is similar to that of Prosecco- vinified in stainless steel and made bubbly via the charmat method (autoclave). 

Light, crisp, and citrusy, with a playful bead that keeps the palate cleansed and refreshed. Verdeca’s aromas of herbs, flowers, and a bitter almond finish make it a great food pairing wine. Try with all kinds of Crudo (including sashimi) and Patio Sipping.
