Giorgio is a 0/0 pet-nat of riesling with 24 hr skin contact.

Riesling is our darling grape, it can do almost anything. Sparkling Riesling has been on our to-do list since before we started making wine. This is an aromatic white wine with 24 hours of skin contact, made more aromatic by tiny bubbles that propel the wine’s perfume out of the glass and into your world.

Production: 

  • Riesling was picked at 20.4* Brix on September 3. Whole clusters were foot treaded and macerated on skins for 24 hours before pressing and cold settling.

  • The wine was fermented to dryness in stainless steel tank over 2 weeks using native yeast and bacteria.

  • We blended in a small amount of frozen Riesling juice that we had reserved from pressing and bottled the wine under crown cap.

  • No sulfur or other additions were added and this wine was bottled without fining, filtration, or disgorgement.
