La Volpe Rossa — Sour IGA — Birrificio Sabino × Tenuta SantaLucia

La Volpe Rossa is born from the collaboration between Birrificio Sabino and the nearby Tenuta SantaLucia: the Cabernet grapes provide their indigenous yeasts to the beer wort, leading a spontaneous fermentation that deeply marks the taste. After eight months in the barrel and an equal time of bottle refermentation, it brings to the glass the acidic freshness and fine bubbles of a pet-nat wine, with elegant fruity and floral aromas.
