The name Valentina Pasalacqua will probably ring a bell for a lot of Natural Wine lovers due to Valentina being at the helm of the globally renowned Calcarius wines. If you think they were great, you're in for one hell of a ride with her latest releases.
 
Famiglia is the epitome of what a clean, drinkable, fully natural wine should be. Made from a 50/50 blend of Bombino and Fiano grapes which undergo spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks for 6 days without skins (direct press), before being aged for 6 months in steel tanks. Starting off with rich aromas of lemon, candied ginger and walnuts, on the palate, big minerality combines with pineapple and a faint coconut vibe moving on to the finish. Incredibly smashable, which is dangerous in 1 litre format!
