Details
50/50 Pignoletto and Montuni grapes, this is essentially a skin contact, orange Pét Nat. We love it, enjoy the hints of Cola bottles and candied ginger with so much breadth and waxy tannins on the palate. This is stern and structured, but with a playful elegance.

Pairing guide
Pét Nat has long since taken over our hearts and taste buds, and there’s simply no stopping this celebrated sparkling wine style… not least because it pairs so well with so many of our favourite foods. We always love pairing Pét Nat with street food favourites like southern fried chicken, crispy tofu and noodles and pulled pork sandwiches, but it’s also a great option for breaded fish, salt and pepper squid, grain-based salads and Middle Eastern treats like falafel and sabich. Yum!

Wine region

Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Emilia-Romagna has to be one of the most important food regions in the world as the home of Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar as well as Ragu or as we know it Spaghetti Bolognese. Aside from the amazing food, there is also some really decent wine to go with it! Known for producing delicious red wines like Lambrusco and Pignoletto as well as Sangiovese as well as white wines like Albana, this region has a unique climate that allows grapes to ripen perfectly. So when you next head to Bologna, make sure you enjoy all of the local produce!
