If there's such a thing as "funky" in the world of wines, this is it! Orsogna, acknowledged as the world's largest biodynamic winery, has for the first time in its history created a sparkling wine using pét-nat technology, a wine brimming with joy from top to bottom (from label to aftertaste). The grape variety is 100% Pecorino, a white grape characteristic of the region, and incidentally, it has no connection to the cheese of the same name, although it's true they make an excellent pairing when consumed together. It's a true Mediterranean wine, with lively acidity, a salinity reminiscent of coastal wines, and a rosemary aroma, complemented, of course, by the yeasty, bready flavors from the lees left in the bottle. Chilled, in good company, during a picnic, it's impossible to stop at just one bottle!
