Red & the Beast by Valli Unite is a natural red Pet Nat wine made in Piedmont with Barbera, Dolcetto and Cortese grapes (the latter being a white grape, lifting the mouthfeel and weight of the wine).

Expect a juicy mouthfeel and nice bubbles, similar to a dry Lambrusco vibe. Would work great with tomato based dishes like pasta, pizza and similar food vibes, but also ideal on its own.

Production details of Red & the Beast: Red & the Beast is a red Pet Nat from Valli Unite, a long-running 30-family cooperative in Costa Vescovato, southeast Piedmont. The blend uses Barbera, Dolcetto and Cortese (the last being a white grape lifting the wine's mouthfeel). They farm 100 hectares in the Tortona Hills using a lunar-calendar approach with sheep, beehives, orchards and grain fields.

Tasting Notes: We have not yet tried this vintage of Red & the Beast by Valli Unite, but we hear it has notes of red cherry, ripe berry, soft fizz and a dry Lambrusco-style lift.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES BY VALLI UNITE

Valli Unite is a farming cooperative in Costa Vescovato, in the Colli Tortonesi of south-east Piedmont. Three young local farmers, Ottavio Rube among them, set it up in 1981 to keep farming rather than leave the land. Today a few dozen people farm around 100 hectares, sharing the jobs and earning the same, with vines alongside cereals, a vegetable garden, Piedmontese cattle, bees and an agriturismo.

They moved to natural winemaking from 2006, and since 2013 every fermentation has been spontaneous, with only small amounts of sulphur. Most wines ferment in stainless steel and rest in cement, and the grapes are local: Barbera, Dolcetto, Croatina, Cortese, Timorasso and Favorita. Ottavio Rube Rosso and Bianco, Alessandrino and the Bag in Box Rosso are everyday favourites, Terragno is a skin-contact Cortese and Favorita aged in acacia, and San Vito and Derthona show the more serious side of Timorasso.
