TASTING NOTES
The Pestifero Bio from Monster's Wine, produced by Tenuta di Tavignano in the Marche region, is an organic sparkling white wine that perfectly balances rural tradition with enological innovation. The latest vintage available features a blend of Verdicchio (70%), Malvasia (15%), and Sangiovese (15%) grapes, cultivated in the hills of Tavignano, Macerata province—an area renowned for its rich soils and favourable climate imparting freshness and minerality to the wines. Visually, Il Pestifero displays a lively, bright pale straw yellow hue, reflecting its sparkling and natural character. On the nose, the bottle fermentation using the ancestral method (méthode ancestrale) produces a layered bouquet with herbaceous notes, delicate minerality, fresh citrus, and subtle floral hints, resulting in a complex and inviting aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is dry, with fine bubbles that enhance a vibrant acidity, delivering freshness and a pleasant persistence. Its light structure and moderate alcohol content make it ideal for aperitifs, snacks, or pairing with both exotic cuisines and traditional dishes. Il Pestifero belongs to the Monster's Wine range, a collection of organic wines expressing grotesque characters and diverse moods, designed for free spirits and lovers of transgression with a pop-punk twist. Specifically, Il Pestifero is a fun, spontaneous, unfiltered wine that retains natural turbidity and the typical lees sediment of bottle-fermented wines, offering an authentic and original tasting experience. The sparkling character of Il Pestifero derives from the ancestral method, a traditional technique involving in-bottle secondary fermentation without added yeasts or sugars, thereby preserving the purity and identity of the terroir. In summary, Il Pestifero Bio Monster's Wine by Tenuta di Tavignano is an organic sparkling white from the Marche, perfect for those seeking a fresh, lively white with a unique character that surprises both for its story and flavour.
