Tasting notes

This is a pét-nat built for drinking, not analyzing — light mousse, fresh red and stone fruit character, and the kind of tangy, slightly wild finish that comes from zero intervention and a good clay-soil vintage in Chieti. It is a rare format from a producer whose total output is under 10,000 bottles per year across all wines.

Spumm is a pétillant naturel from Luca Bevilacqua, made in Atessa in the Val di Sangro, province of Chieti, in southern Abruzzo. The vineyards sit at roughly 300 meters elevation on clay soils, positioned between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Sea breezes cool the vines during summer, while proximity to the Majella Massif brings overnight temperature drops.

Pét-nat is produced by the ancestral method: the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is complete, trapping carbon dioxide naturally in the bottle without a secondary fermentation or dosage. The result is a lightly sparkling wine with a gentle mousse, bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfites.

Luca works exclusively with indigenous Abruzzo varieties — Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Passerina, and Pecorino — and has farmed without synthetic chemicals since starting the project, using only small amounts of copper when needed. Total annual production across all his wines is under 10,000 bottles.

Serve well chilled with charcuterie, fresh sheep's milk cheese, or fried seafood from the Adriatic coast. The lively acidity and low tannin also make it a natural match for arrosticini lamb skewers, Abruzzo's most iconic street food. Drink young and cold.

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.

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. 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

Luca Bevilacqua

Luca Bevilacqua is a working sommelier based in Atessa, a town in the lower Sangro River valley in the province of Chieti, Abruzzo. He returned to his native region after spending a decade working as a sommelier across Europe, and began making wine from his father's vineyard. The LAB project takes its name from the initials of his two sons, Lorenzo Amerigo and Leonardo Andrea Bevilacqua.

The estate holds roughly two hectares of vines averaging 35 years of age, planted at approximately 300 meters elevation on clay soils. The vineyards are surrounded by olive trees, peach trees, and wheat fields, with sea breezes from the Adriatic moderating summer heat and the Majella Massif providing overnight cooling. No synthetic pesticides or chemicals have been used — only copper in small quantities when required. Cover crops are used to prevent soil erosion around the pergola-trained vines.

Luca ferments with native yeasts and uses no additives or manipulations. Depending on the wine, vessels include stainless steel, fiberglass tanks, and glass. His pét-nats are bottled mid-fermentation using the ancestral method, finishing fermentation in bottle with no dosage. All wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero added sulfites. Total production across the range is under 10,000 bottles annually.

Wine region

Abruzzo, Italy

Abruzzo sits on Italy's central Adriatic coast, stretching from the Apennine mountain spine to the sea. The province of Chieti in the south is the region's largest wine-producing area, accounting for the majority of production. Vineyards in the Sangro River valley run along a west-east orientation, with calcareous clay soils and elevations ranging from near sea level up to several hundred meters. The Adriatic provides a moderating Mediterranean influence, while the Apennines create significant diurnal temperature variation that preserves acidity in the grapes.

Abruzzo's primary DOC appellations include Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, and Colline Teramane DOCG. The Terre di Chieti IGT covers the entire Chieti province and allows production from the full range of indigenous varieties. Montepulciano is the dominant red grape, with roughly 42,000 acres under vine across the region. White varieties including Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Pecorino, Passerina, and Cococciola make up a significant share of plantings, and producers in the natural wine movement have focused almost exclusively on these indigenous varieties.
