Lunaria Ancestrale Pinot Grigio Rosato Pet-Nat

Winemaker Lunaria on the winery

“We are Lunaria, the organic and biodynamic wine project of Cantina Orsogna, a cooperative of winegrowers in Abruzzo. At the foothills of Majella National Park, we work together to produce wines that reflect the nature and character of our region. Since 2005, our vineyards have been farmed according to biodynamic principles. We encourage a natural balance in the vineyards and aim to intervene as little as possible in the cellar. Our wines are made to express the pure character of the grape. The distinctive hand-tied thread around our bottles also reflects local traditions and the connection between people, land and winemaking.”

And on Abruzzo, Italy

“Our Ancestrale Pinot Grigio Rosato comes from Terre di Chieti in Abruzzo, where the vineyards benefit from the Adriatic Sea and the mountainous landscape inland. We make this sparkling rosé from 100% Pinot Grigio. Although the grape is often used for white wine, its ripe berries have a pinkish-grey skin that gives the wine a copper-pink hue when left in contact with the juice. We allow the must to ferment spontaneously with native yeasts and bottle it while fermentation is still underway. This creates natural bubbles in the bottle, without added sugar or yeast. The wine is unfiltered and made without added sulphites. The result is a lively, dry and fruit-driven sparkling wine with strawberry, ripe pear, apple and refreshing acidity.”
