Its primitive personality brings back to the charm of the wines of the past. Son of the ancestral method, Ad Astra is a Minutolo pét-nat (pétillant naturel), unique and cheeky. It can be tasted in a “masked” version by its own yeasts which remain in the bottle after fermentation, or in a clear version by letting them settle on the bottom.

Tasting notes: the wine has a straw yellow colour with a typical haziness. It has an aromatic and fragrant character, with clear references to white peaches and sugared almonds, orange blossom, a floral cascade and a touch of honey. It is a truly balanced wine thanks to its pleasant carbonation that goes well with the caress of the yeasts.
