{"product_id":"chi-mera-frizzante-pignoletto-koi-natural-wine","title":"Chi Mera Frizzante 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eChi Mera is a refermented field-blend frizzante from a single 40-year-old vineyard at Castello di Serravalle, in the Valsamoggia valley on the Bologna-Modena border. The vines — Pignoletto, Albana, Trebbiano Modenese, and Alionza — grow in predominantly clay soils and are trained using the traditional Bellussi system, a high-canopy method that protects buds from frost but cannot be mechanized. Harvest takes place in mid-September; grapes are picked together and whole-cluster pressed without destemming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Flavio Restani ferments only the free-run juice (mosto fiore) with native yeasts at 18–20°C. The wine rests on its lees through winter into spring, at which point frozen Albana must from the same harvest is added to trigger a second fermentation in the bottle — the ancestral or rifermentato method long practiced in this part of Emilia-Romagna. The wine is never disgorged, leaving visible lees sediment. No fining, no filtration, and no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass Chi Mera shows hazy pale straw with fine, gentle bubbles. The nose is direct: lime zest, fresh herbs, a touch of white peach, and a faint nuttiness from the lees. The palate is light, dry, and high in acidity, with a chalky finish and the faintly bitter almond note characteristic of Pignoletto. Serve well chilled and open carefully — secondary sediment will be present. Once poured, drink promptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is classified as Emilia Bianco Frizzante IGP. Koi holds certified organic status for all of its approximately 3.5 hectares of vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39485260923079,"sku":"KOIPIGFR19C","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/koi-chi-mena-pignoletto-pet-nat-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186312","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/chi-mera-frizzante-pignoletto-koi-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
