2021 Valli Unite Brut & the Beast
Description
WINEMAKER: Alessandro Poretti
REGION: Piedmont, IT
VARIETAL: Cortese
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
Early pick of Cortese grapes. This sparkling wine is produced with an ancestral method. The wine is first fermented in stainless steel, then a frozen must from the same vintage of mix of Cortese and other aromatic varieties is added before bottling, to restart the fermentation. Crisp nose with gentle apple aromas and delicate stone fruits flavours. Sharp, acidic palate of herbs and white fruit. Super refreshing, with nice bubbles.
Valli Unite, born in 1981 as certified organic cooperative of work in Costa Vescovato, in the southern-east part of Piedmont region. From the strong determination of 3 young farmers to resist to land abandon and stay in agriculture, joined very soon from people with different culture, study and professional skills, to enable a different life style, where income is not the main value.
Valli Unite today is a group of 35 people working 100 hectares. 25 of them at vineyard, the rest pasture, forage, cereals, vegetable garden and wood. Since 2007, Alessandro Poretti has arrived at the cooperative, an ambitious man with excellent ideas, strongly convinced that he wants to produce wine in the most natural and authentic way possible. From that moment new techniques were adopted: spontaneous fermentations, very few filtrations and little use of sulphites.

We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
