Ercole Pet-Nat Rosato 2022 is a naturally sparkling rosé wine produced by Ercole, a collaboration of small growers from the Monferrato region in Piedmont, Italy. This Pet-Nat, short for Pétillant Naturel, is crafted using the ancestral method, which involves bottling the wine before primary fermentation is complete, allowing it to carbonate naturally. Ercole Pet-Nat Rosato 2022 is made from a blend of indigenous Piedmontese grape varieties, primarily Barbera and Dolcetto. The wine has a vibrant pink hue and a lively effervescence. The nose is aromatic, with wild strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of rose petals. It is fresh and fruity on the palate, with flavors of red berries, citrus, and a subtle yeasty complexity from the natural fermentation. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with balanced acidity and a gentle, persistent fizz.
