Alpamanta Pet Nat Breva Criolla Mendoza 2022

$2399

Alpamanta's Breva captures ancestral sparkling winemaking at its most honest: Criolla Grande grapes from a 40-year-old, organically managed vineyard fermented into bubbles using the ancestral method, no added sulfites, no shortcuts. The result is cherry-red effervescence with aromas of fresh cherries, currants, and raspberries giving way to plum and blackberry on the palate. Fine bubbles deliver a refreshing finish to what begins as an inviting, slightly sweet entry. This is indigenous fermentation, old vine complexity, and New World spontaneity in one bottle.

"The 2022 Pet Nat Criolla Grande Breva is from Ugarteche. Vivid in the glass, somewhere between purple and fuchsia. The nose presents cherry, white pepper, herbs and sour cherry. It's slightly tannic – due to the variety – which is enhanced by the gas. A summery, gastronomic wine with a well-defined fruity flavor and an acidic kick at the end. The finish is pure sour cherry. The 2022 is exotic and intentionally raw but well-made." —Joaquín Hidalgo

"The sparkling red 2022 Breva Pet Nat Criolla was produced with Criolla Grande grapes with moderate alcohol, 12.5%, and high acidity (8.81 grams). It has a bright ruby color and small bubbles that make it piquant. It's quite acidic and has shy flavors." —Luis Gutiérrez

"Made of Criolla grapes from Luján de Cuyo, this pét-nat shows berry notes that are typical of the variety. The nose is austere, but the palate is more generous in fruit flavors. Strawberries fill the mouth as a dash of herbs adds savoriness to the finish."
