WINE MAKING PROCESS
Il Baffone Poderi Cellario 2023 is produced using the ancestral method, also known as Pet Nat. This technique involves bottling the wine before the primary fermentation is complete, allowing a second fermentation to occur in the bottle. This process naturally creates the wine's sparkle. The wine is typically unfiltered and unclarified, retaining sediment from the fermentation. Poderi Cellario employs minimal intervention winemaking, adhering to natural and biodynamic farming principles in their vineyards. The blend of indigenous Piedmontese grape varieties is handled with care to allow for natural expression.
