Orsi is located in Valsamoggia, on the hills around Bologna. This area is historically suitable for viticulture. To fully respect this vocation, and to produce wines that express the authenticity of this terroir, their farming technique allows them to revitalise the earth, stimulates the plants, and produces fruits that have a strong connection to their land.

In the cellar they respect this heritage by avoiding to use any invasive enological processes. 'This is not a matter of faith or even less a marketing strategy, it is a matter of taste: we want our wines to have a distinguished personality, that varies from one year to the other, we don't want them to be standardised.'

A Pignoletto base fermented with its indigenous yeasts in concrete or steel, without clarifications or filtrations. After the bottling during the spring, the spontaneous re-fermentation takes place in the bottles. No disgorgement is carried out, meaning the wine remains on its lees, adding texture, complexity, and that characteristic savoury quality.

What you get is energetic, flavoursome Pignoletto with beautiful harmony between fruit, floral tones, and savoury salinity. This is Pet Nat at its most joyful and drinkable – a wine with distinguished personality that's perfect for any occasion.

Serve it well-chilled as an aperitif, with seafood, charcuterie, or light dishes. This is honest, joyful Emilia Romagna sparkling wine from a producer committed to respecting terroir and avoiding standardisation, perfect for those looking for pure joy in a bottle.
