Tasting Note

This is a pet nat of Sangiovese. Aleatico must is used for the secondary fermentation. It’s a pretty, hazy pink color. Lively, dry, easy to enjoy. A perfect lunch bottle. Raspo is stem in Italian, a reference to the whole cluster fermentations Francesco employs to create this singular bubbly. Francesco uses no additives in his wines, only a small amount of sulfur (20mg/l) when filling the vessels.
