Domaine des Sonnettes Gros Pif Pet nat

The méthode ancestrale technique used in crafting this wine involves fermenting the base wine to a specific point and then bottling it to allow the fermentation to complete in the bottle, trapping carbon dioxide and creating natural bubbles. This process results in a lightly sparkling wine with a cloudy appearance, characteristic of traditional Pét-Nats. The absence of added sulfites and filtration ensures an authentic expression of the grapes and terroir.
