Pievalta Perlugo Zero Spumante
£19.75
Much loved by our customers (see reviews below), this is the perfect aperitif wine or palate cleanser between courses, or as a refreshing sipper when you need a pick me up. Made from biodynamic Verdicchio grapes in the Marche region of eastern Italy, the mouth is expressive and crisp with some yeasty notes and a zesty fresh taste. Zero dosage (=no added sugar), this unique Italian sparkler has been called the ‘perfect aperitif to get your mouth watering’ by one of our customers. The vortex symbol on the label represents the special preparation applied to the vineyard each year to stimulate soil and vine health.
- Best Prosecco Alternatives, Evening Standard, ‘Keeping things Italian, this organic Spumante – the blanket term for fully sparkling as opposed to the lighter Frizzante styles (Prosecco tends to fall into the former) – is made from 100 per cent Verdicchio grapes from the Marche region. With zero dosage – no added sugar – after the second fermentation, the flavours stand up on their own: enlivening notes of fresh citrus, baked bread and a mouthwateringly crisp, bone-dry finish.’ Nuria Stylianou, August 2017
- 17/20, JancisRobinson.com ‘100% Verdicchio. Inviting leesy lemon nose. Assertive CO2 on the attack, then piercing fresh lemon fruit. Mouth-watering. Fine lasting prickle. Delicious.’ Walter Speller, August 2016

Dry delight
Very dry for a sparkling wine, but that made it enjoyable appetising for me. Good value

Super appetiser
The perfect aperitif to get your mouth watering
Pontipine –
Perfect with spicy food!
We had our first bottle of this at a special meal on Saturday, when it went perfectly with a very spicy meal. Two people who would normally have had a robust red wine, said this was an even better choice.
It was refreshing, complex and wonderful – all five of us thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily drink it the next time we have spicy food! Or even on its own, or with other savoury dishes.
A bargain in comparison with other similar wines.
Ingrid (verified owner) –
Delicious sparkling wine. What a surprise! I was expecting a Prosecco-like fizz but this is so much better. Very dry (perfect for me) and lemony, giving a sherbet-like sensation with an unexpected honey finish without the cloying sweetness.
