Arteteke - Pet Nat Griddele

In the ancient cellar of the Paternoster family in Melfi, Basilicata, Francesco Bagnale and Alessandro Bocchetti make small quantities of wine from the ungrafted vines of the local grapes of Vulture. Francesco is the president of AIAS Melfi-Matera, an association of families of people with disabilities and, along with Alessandro, decided to create a farm dedicated to inclusion. They focus on the work of young people with underdeveloped motor and cognitive skills - Arteteke in the local dialect is a word for the restlessness of children who cannot sit still. The grapes from this collaborative farm go to make a variety of bottlings from Arteteke, mostly from Aglianico. On the label of these wines is the Bramea, a rare butterfly that lives only on the Vulture and is the last of its kind in Europe: an ever-present reminder to alway keep moving forward. 

Note: this wine is unclarified and unfiltered, meaning you’ll see some of the natural yeasts in the bottle. Lightly turn the bottle upside down to gently mix the sediment before serving.

A lively and refreshing sparkling rosato made using the metodo ancestrale (Pet-Nat), featuring natural effervescence and bright fruit flavors.
