Indocilis 2021
Podere Pradarolo

Grape Variety: Barbera

Producer: Podere Pradarolo (Alberto & Claudia Carretti)

Region: Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

14% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Barbera grapes were hand harvested and underwent spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in cement tanks. The wine was bottled before fermentation was completed which created fizz inside the bottle (ancestral winemaking technique, pet nat). No fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: Natural sparkling red wine, similar in style to a Lambrusco. Medium bodied with deep, dark fruit flavours, fresh acidity and a mineral finish. Works well as an aperitif or with food.

Notes on the Winemaker: Alberto & Claudia Carretti make natural wines that have gained quite a following amongst enthusiasts. They focus on ancient techniques of extended skin contact to produce some of the most complex and unique bottles around.
