Pétulant naturel is Birichino's querulous answer as to how to produce a complex and delicious lightly "pétulant" wine using traditional lo-fi methods that don't require luxury-group funded production equipment nor marketing fluff. From a vineyard planted just shy of 3 decades ago up against the Santa Lucias of the Salinas Valley, this is 100% Malvasia Bianca with just a touch of malvasia juice that was added while it was actively fermenting. Each bottle is a variation on a theme of floral flashes of frangipani, honeysuckle, and nectarine blossom.
From 31-year-old vines, this bubbly is all kinds of wild, starting with a very cloudy appearance then leading into aromas of grapefruit soda, apple sauce and banana. That unique combination shows strongly on the palate as well, where tropical hints of mango and makrut lime add to the attention-grabbing format.
