Glera & Moscato Fior D’Arancia, Veneto, Italy 

An aromatic, skin contact pet-nat from a category-defining northern Italian producer. Costadilà, aka ”the hillside over there”, was founded in 2006 in Tarzo, Veneto by Ernesto Cattel. Their goal: to highlight and rejuvenate Tarzo’s rich agricultural traditions by reintroducing farming to the region. Today their harmonious farm is home to vines, fruits, vegetables, grains and livestock! If you haven’t dabbled in their sparkling world yet, it’s good to note that most Costadilà wines focus on featuring glera (the typical grape used for Prosecco) to the height of its abilities, but this one shakes things up a bit with a twist of fragrant moscato. For ‘Moz’, the tart and floral glera is direct pressed, while the musky moscato is macerated for 30 days to pull richness of structure, depth & mischievous scents that treat your nose like a maypole, wrapping themselves snuggly round and round. Wildly chunky, mineral gusts, ground flowers both heady and bitter, yeasty slices, dizzy bees with pollen-weighted legs, a duolingo lesson in peachy sapidity & an aromatic twang of your own mother tongue.
