Pignoletto brings structure and Moscato adds aromatic lift to this organic pétillant naturel. A short maceration creates slight haziness and medium-light body with orchard fruit character and baking spice notes. Serve well chilled at 45-48°F; no decanting needed. Tortellini in brodo makes a regional match. Similar to a cloudy Col Fondo Prosecco but with the aromatic intensity and spice that Emilia-Romagna's terroir provides.

Tasting notes

Hazy pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose presents ripe white peach, toasted almonds dusted with cinnamon, and dried white rose petals. On the palate, fresh orchard fruit meets gentle effervescence and a layered pear-like quality. The finish is spicy and dry with balanced acidity.

Food pairings

Tortellini in brodo, prosciutto di Parma, vegetable antipasti, fresh mozzarella, grilled chicken, light fish dishes, fruit tarts, aperitivo.

Product description

A sparkling white wine born from nearly four decades of organic farming in Emilia-Romagna, Folicello Bianco Pet Nat Limited Edition 2023 blends 90% Pignoletto with 10% Moscato from the family estate in Castelfranco Emilia near Modena. Marco and Antonella founded Il Folicello in the early 1980s with a simple goal: making wholesome wine for friends and family. The grapes receive a brief two-day maceration before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Folicello Bianco Pet Nat Limited Edition 2023 is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites using the ancestral method.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Folicello

Marco and Antonella, the passionate team behind Folicello, began their winemaking journey in the scenic Castelfranco Emilia, Modena, Emilia Romagna region. Since the early 1980s, their goal has been simple yet heartfelt: to create authentic, vibrant wines that reflect the beauty of their surroundings. Initially intended for personal enjoyment and sharing with friends, their endeavor has since evolved significantly.

Today, their modest estate features a modern cellar designed for efficient grape vinification. Beyond wine, Marco and Antonella have expanded their offerings to include organic jams and other grape-derived products, as well as a dedicated vinegar production facility. This expansion reflects their deep connection to the countryside and their appreciation for the enriched lifestyle it provides.

For this duo, winemaking extends beyond commercial success; it's about embracing and showcasing the benefits of organic viticulture. They believe in producing superior wines that are feasible and deeply fulfilling, embodying a sustainable, nature-aligned way of life. Winemaking for them is more than a profession; it's a means to demonstrate a harmonious coexistence with nature.

Wine region

Emilia–Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna occupies a privileged position across northern Italy, stretching from the Po River plains to the Apennine foothills and east to the Adriatic coast. The region claims some of Italy's most celebrated culinary treasures—Parmigiano-Reggiano, prosciutto di Parma, balsamic vinegar of Modena, tortellini—and a winemaking tradition that matches this gastronomic heritage in depth and authenticity.

Folicello's estate lies in Castelfranco Emilia within the province of Modena, an area where viticulture has thrived since Etruscan times. The landscape here transitions between the flat agricultural plains and gentle hills rising toward the Apennines. Soils combine clay, silt, and sand in varying proportions, providing excellent drainage while retaining enough moisture to sustain vines through warm summers. The climate benefits from continental influences moderated by Adriatic breezes, with significant day-night temperature variations that preserve acidity in the grapes.

Lambrusco dominates regional production and international recognition, but Emilia-Romagna cultivates numerous indigenous white varieties deserving wider attention. Pignoletto, grown primarily in the hills around Bologna and Modena, produces wines ranging from still to sparkling with characteristic almond notes and bright acidity. Trebbiano and Montuni add local character, while Malvasia contributes aromatic complexity to blends.

The ancestral method of sparkling wine production—pétillant naturel or metodo ancestrale—finds natural expression here, where farmers have made fizzy wines for generations before industrial techniques standardized production elsewhere. This tradition aligns perfectly with the growing natural wine movement, as producers like Marco and Antonella at Folicello demonstrate that organic farming and minimal intervention honor rather than abandon regional heritage.

Beyond wine, Emilia-Romagna's agricultural diversity supports integrated farming operations where vineyards coexist with grain fields, orchards, and livestock—creating self-sufficient estates that embody sustainable principles.
