Details
This Pét Nat is made up of a blend of Lambrusco's two core grapes: Sorbara and Salamino. This is so attractive on the nose, with hints of bruised apples, candy floss and watermelon. Expect savoury and bitter character across the palate, with bite and structure.
Folicello Winery, nestled in the Modena hills of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, is an organic dreamland for wine lovers. Founded in the ‘80s by Antonella and Marco, this small family-run estate has become a passionate producer of all things natural and organic. Known for its commitment to biodiversity and the environment, Folicello is as green as it comes. It embraces biodynamic principles, letting the land and vines work in harmony with minimal intervention. Folicello’s lineup is a vibrant showcase of the Emilia-Romagna terroir, featuring everything from sparkling Pignoletto and Lambrusco to intriguing still whites and reds. Each bottle offers a taste of sustainable winemaking, crafted with a “what you see is what you get” philosophy—no added sulfites, just pure, unfiltered goodness. Their sparkling wines, in particular, capture the fun, lively spirit of the region. With wines as fresh and genuine as the people behind them, Folicello’s creations are a refreshing dive into organic Italian winemaking at its most authentic. Cheers to keeping it real!

Pairing guide
Anything with this much pink fruit generosity is going to go well with noodles, and the gently juicy edges here are going to make for such an easy match with Pad Kee Mao or Pad Thai, using your choice of protein (tofu or chicken are our favourites, and prawn in second). Don't neglect pizza either, with salami-covered red sauce pizza an obvious choice, and choose your spice level for balance. The red fruits of this pet nat are going to wok nicely with a range of pairings in honesty, just chill it down to proper ice cold!

Wine region
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Emilia-Romagna has to be one of the most important food regions in the world as the home of Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar as well as Ragu or as we know it Spaghetti Bolognese. Aside from the amazing food, there is also some really decent wine to go with it! Known for producing delicious red wines like Lambrusco and Pignoletto as well as Sangiovese as well as white wines like Albana, this region has a unique climate that allows grapes to ripen perfectly. So when you next head to Bologna, make sure you enjoy all of the local produce!
