ABOUT THIS WINE
The Nina Pet Nat 2021 from Cantina Terracanta is a white sparkling wine from Lazio, Italy, made using the ancestral method. It is a blend of Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, with winemaking often involving spontaneous fermentation in traditional Georgian Qvevri amphorae before a second fermentation in the bottle. The winery, founded in 2019 by Carlo and Lucia, continues a family tradition of biodynamic agriculture spanning 35 years. Their estate is situated at the base of the Vallericcia crater, where vineyards are planted in volcanic soil. Cantina Terracanta emphasizes minimal intervention, typically leaving the wine unfined, unfiltered, and unclarified, with minimal or no added sulfites.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nina Pet Nat 2021 is produced using the ancestral method, also known as 'pétillant naturel'. This involves bottling the wine during its initial fermentation, allowing a secondary fermentation to occur in the bottle, which creates natural carbonation. The grapes, Malvasia and Trebbiano, undergo spontaneous fermentation, often in large, buried Georgian terracotta amphorae called Qvevri. The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and unclarified, with minimal or no added sulfites. This approach is central to Cantina Terracanta's philosophy of minimal intervention and harmonious collaboration with nature.
