A hazy pink meanders around the glass. Not crazily gassed. No explosions on opening, no fizzy overflows, but it certainly isn’t flat either. Anyone who has popped more than one methode ancestrale in their life KNOWS there can be surprises. Here’s a pet-nat from Tuscany, all organic, biologique, sans soufre, about as clean and solid and *un-hippy* as you can get. One of those sparklers that is elegant enough you could disgorge it and charge double. Clean and distinct, gravely latex subtext on a tart berry punch, rich finish overwhelming the acid crunch.
