Dry with herbal-tinged citrus fruit, Sophisticated
Herbal with almonds
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.
Pievalta lies in the heart of Castelli di Jesi in the Marche region of eastern Italy – a region famous for its quality Verdicchio wines. The estate takes its name (‘Pievalta’) from the small parish church located at the entrance of the property. It was established in 2002 and purchased by the Barone Pizzini estate (in Franciacorta) to develop Verdicchio wines of great quality. The estate covers a total area of 44 hectares of property, and in 2008, Pievalta was first to be biodynamic certified in the Le Marche region. Only natural preparations are worked with and organic and plant compounds to encourage the formation of fertile humus and energise the growth of the plants. The management of Pievalta’s vineyards and winemaking has been assigned to Alessandro Fenino, an oenologist with a number of successful harvests and seasons at Barone Pizzini under his belt. In 2008, Alessandro was joined by Silvia Loschi, his colleague at Barone Pizzini and now his life companion. Shop all Pievalta wines here.
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.

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.
The perfect aperitif to get your mouth watering

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