ORSI SAN VITO, Sui lieviti 2021

‘Sui Lieviti' roughly translates as ‘on lees’, meaning that all of the grape must that starts the second fermentation in-bottle is left exactly where it is, leading to the wine’s sandy haze and salinity in flavour. 

The Pignoletto is an undervalued grape of Emilia-Romagna but here it shows its potential; zesty lemons with a savoury depth. Rustic, unpolished fizz that will make run-of-the-mill Prosecco look positively boring in comparison.
