Tasting Notes


Bright straw yellow with golden hues; very fine, persistent perlage.

On the nose far from the standard "bread crust" profiles of commercial sparkling wines. Expect fresh citrus (lemon zest), green apple, white flowers (broom), and a very pronounced, chalky minerality.

On the palate bone-dry, electric, and saline. It cuts with high acidity, showing unripe orchard fruit and light yeastiness, leading to a long, clean, and bracing finish.

Serving: Best served at 46°F to 50°F (8°C to 10°C).

Food pairing: outstanding as an aperitif, with raw seafood/crudo, sushi, oysters, or fresh/soft cheeses.

The Nicola Gatta “30 Lune” Cuvée Nature is a bone-dry, zero-dosage sparkling wine from the limestone hills of Gussago, on the eastern edge of Franciacorta. It is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Lemon zest, green apple and white broom flowers lead into a chalky, saline palate with bright acidity and a long, bracing finish. It is available for delivery across Florida.

Nicola Gatta is a fiercely independent grower who chose to leave the Franciacorta DOCG so he could make his sparkling wines without its rules. He farms 400 to 650 meters up on limestone and calcareous clay, following biodynamic principles, and harvests by hand. The grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks or large oak tonneaux, with no fining, filtering or added sulfites. The wine then finishes fermenting in the bottle using the traditional method and ages on its lees for 30 moons, or about two and a half years. He times his cellar work by the lunar cycles, which gives the wine its name. No sugar is added when it is disgorged.

Why buy it: if you love Champagne and traditional-method sparkling wine but want something sharper, drier and more mineral, this is for you. It skips the usual bread-crust notes for pure citrus, chalk and salt, and it is made by a natural producer with no added sulfites or sugar. It is a fair price for a wine with two and a half years on its lees.

When to open it: an aperitif, a seafood dinner, or a celebration where you want something different from the usual bubbles. It is outstanding with oysters, raw seafood and crudo, sushi, and fresh or soft cheeses. Serve it at 46-50°F (8-10°C). It is ready to enjoy now.
