Winemaker Claudio Campaner farms roughly 3 hectares of vines at 250 meters elevation on south-east facing slopes of white clay and sand — marine sediment soils that are low in nitrogen, a condition that historically favored sparkling wines in this area because fermentations struggle to finish before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 Ambra is a blend led by Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, with Moscato Bianco, Marsanne, and smaller amounts of Trebbiano Romagnolo, Ortrugo, and Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes are hand-harvested and macerated on the skins for 15 to 20 days in concrete tanks with spontaneous native yeast fermentation. The must is bottled before fermentation completes, allowing a second in-bottle fermentation to create the natural effervescence. The wine remains on the lees in bottle for approximately one year. No fining, no filtration, and no added sulfur dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalvasia di Candia Aromatica is the structural backbone here — a strongly aromatic white variety native to the Piacenza and Parma provinces, known for primary aromas of orange, apricot, peach, acacia, and lavender. Skin contact deepens the color to amber and adds grip and texture. The result is a wine with a distinctly aromatic, slightly tannic profile that is unusual even within the pét nat category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistina is one of the producers in the Colli Piacentini natural wine community alongside La Stoppa, Denavolo, and Croci. The winery operates as a closed loop: grape pomace from maceration is distilled into grappa, and the spent pomace is returned to the vineyard as organic compost. Only concrete and fiberglass tanks are used in the cellar — no oak, no temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31233451819101,"sku":"DISTAMBR17C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/ambra-orange-pet-nat-distina-emilia-romagna-italy-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780691579","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/ambra-orange-pet-nat-distina-emilia-romagna-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
