ABOUT THIS WINE
The Pietramore Méthode Ancestrale Trebbiano is an orange, sparkling wine from the Colli Aprutini sub-region of Abruzzo, Italy, made from 100% Trebbiano grapes. It is produced using the ancestral method, an ancient technique where the wine undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating natural effervescence. The wine's distinctive orange color is a result of extended skin contact during fermentation. Antica Cantina Pietramore, the producer, is a 70-hectare estate committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices, aiming for a pure and honest expression of their wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pietramore Méthode Ancestrale Trebbiano is produced using the ancestral method, an ancient technique for creating sparkling wine. Trebbiano grapes are fermented with extended skin contact, resulting in an orange wine. Primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel, after which the wine is bottled before the fermentation is complete. The secondary fermentation then takes place in the bottle, creating natural effervescence. The wine is typically bottled unfiltered and unfined, preserving its natural character and texture.
