Vassaltis Pet Nat 2024 0.75L Sparkling White Wine To Pet Nat Vassaltis is, by common consensus, one of the best, if not the best, Greek pet nat, with an incredible quality-price ratio. Every year it sells out faster and faster, leaving hundreds of its fans disappointed. The Vassaltis winery may be one of the youngest wineries in Santorini, but it never ceases to amaze us. With a name inspired by the black volcanic rock formed from the cooling of basaltic lava that covered the island of Santorini after the eruption of the volcano nearly 4,000 years ago, the Vassaltis winery has now proven that it can and does make great wines in every style and price. The Pet Nat Vassaltis is one of them and as its name suggests, it is a sparkling (petillant naturel), with elegance and grace. Its blend consists of Savvatiano and a splash of Athiri. The wine starts fermentation in stainless steel tanks and is bottled before it is completed. Thus, the produced carbon dioxide is trapped in the wine, creating a gentle fizz. Because fermentation is completed in the bottle, the wine is not filtered and is therefore slightly cloudy. The Pet Nat Vassaltis is the ultimate aperitif.
