Unforeseen Repetition – Sangiovese Piquette

Unforeseen Repetition
Sangiovese Piquette – 7%
Bottle – 500ml

Wouldn’t it be crazy if we had been patiently cellaring MANY different Natural Wines and Ciders (and some hybrids?!) we’ve made before releasing them? Wouldn’t that be, like, so nuts if we’ve only released a small fraction of what we’ve made so far?

We learned a thing or two about making our unique style of Wines over the years, and we genuinely think the 2023 Harvest contained our best efforts BY FAR! Not only that, but we thought they all got better with some cellar time!

First up: “Unforeseen Repetition” is our Sangiovese Sparkling Honey Piquette. We started off by processing 100% Organic NC-grown Sangiovese grapes by crushing and de-stemming the whole grape clusters, and allowing primary fermentation to occur in contact with all of the pulp and skins for 10 days. We then pressed the juices off the skins, and moved that Wine along it’s production path, but we then took the remaining Sangiovese skins and rehydrated them with water and a dash of Organic TX Honey from our buds @walkerhoneyfarms. We then allowed the naturally occurring yeast to ferment the Honey and remaining traces of Wine to total dryness, and packaged it up with a bit more Organic TX Honey for extra carbonation in the bottle. 

The resulting liquid is a beautiful hybrid of Red Wine and a Spritzer, and comes in at a beautiful 7% ABV. We experience Raspberry spritzers, fresh Pomegranate, a refreshingly dry finish, and a dash of tannin to tie it all together. Bright, effervescent, fruity, and exciting!
