Castagna Sparkling Allegro 'Ancestrale' Pet Nat 2018

Description
It feels quite complex, a touch savoury, concentrated in flavour and bustling with fine bubbles. Very fine sparkling.
The wine has considerable weight. Like it seems heavy on the palate. Like some kind of burnished liquid gold. Then a cheeky, gentle, persistent fizz lifts that weight and turns the gravity off. Joy bounces off the top of your mouth, but the good feels go straight on up through the mixing deck. It’s magic.
Unlike most of these bottle-fermented sparkling wines, this one is neither cloudy nor explosive. But it gives more Sgt. Pepper’s Magical Mystery Tour per sip than nearly everything else I know.
