Floribunda - Sparkling Apfel Cider

Consisting of organic dessert apple varieties Gold Rush and Topaz grafted into japanese disease-resistant rootstocks, Magdalena Egger uses a belt press to extract juice on freshly chopped apple using a Rätzmühle. 2-3 weeks maceration with no temperature control.

2500 bottles produced

3ml of naturally occurring SO2

6.35% ABV

Francesco Pozzobon of Mogliano, Veneto and Pauline Alfano Giacometti of Alsace, France met through the WWOOF program during grape harvest in Piemonte.

Starting in winter 2016, they decided to take over a semi-abandoned farmhouse in Nizza Monferrato in the heart of the Asti hills; a UNESCO heritage site. The vineyards had not undergone intensive agriculture for years, and was the perfect condition for their project.

Their vineyards are maintained only by hand, and the grapes are selected and simply accompanied to the cellar without any additives.

They almost rely completely on the techniques of green manure that are largely inspired by the practices of Fukuoka. In compliance with organic and biodynamic agricultural practices and their certification, they only use copper and sulfur foliar sprays when needed to prevent vine diseases and molds. There is no sulfur added at any time to any of their wines during fermentation or bottling.
