A blend of Chardonnay, Nosiola, and Sauvignon, the base wine for this killer methode ancestrale bubbler is nudged into secondary fermentation with a little must from the proceeding vintage. Rustically frizzante and bracingly dry, the Rethium weaves tangy yellow and orange citrus and fermenting stone fruits through a core that bounces between stony minerals and savory, yeasty breadth with more subtle elements of white melon and curing meat.
