"Wine is nothing other than sunlight held together by water." This simple phrase from Andrea perfectly captures Montepascolo’s sensitive approach to winemaking , and is a pretty good encapsulation of their ‘Demi’ sparkling. Light, lively, and just the right amount of effervescent, it’s like a sunbeam in a bottle. A blend of Piancenzi Ortrugo, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, and a dash of Sauvignon, it sees 30 days of skin contact and 6 months in concrete, before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle. An old-school style of farmer’s fizz, with gentle bubbles carrying crisp orchard fruit, a squeeze of citrus, a waft of jasmine, and a little herbaceous wink. It’s playful, a little wild, and absolutely ready to make your aperitivo hour or park hang the place to be.
