Sensory Description:

Aromatically, this Pet-Nat lifts from the glass with delicate stone fruit and wildflower notes, reminiscent of a warm breeze rolling through a Tuscan vineyard. Malvasia brings a floral vibrancy, while Trebbiano lends honeyed hay and Grechetto contributes crisp white peach and pear. On the palate, it’s a lively dance of medium-bodied texture and refreshing acidity, with a soft, frothy mousse that fades into a mineral-driven finish. Think bright orchard fruit meets the whisper of Mediterranean herbs, all wrapped in a hazy, golden glow.

Winemaker’s Background:

Poggio del Moro is a love letter to Tuscany, carefully crafted by Tania and Alex, who have spent over a decade refining their estate with the help of a dedicated, global team. Nestled just south of Montepulciano, in the rolling hills of Chianciano, the estate embraces sustainability at every turn. Vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand, following environmentally friendly practices that honor tradition while pioneering new research into native yeast fermentations. Their philosophy is simple yet profound, let nature do the work, and the wine will speak for itself.

Serving Suggestions:

This lively Pet-Nat is perfect for toasting on a sun-drenched patio or paired with light, vibrant fare. Serve well-chilled (around 45°F-50°F) alongside fresh burrata with basil, marinated seafood, or a citrusy ceviche. Its gentle effervescence also makes it a dreamy companion for aperitivo hour, think crisp focaccia, aged pecorino, and a handful of almonds. A true taste of Tuscany in every sip.
