Costadila Wines
Featuring regional grapes from Veneto for Prosecco like Glera, Costadila is a pioneer of not just natural wines but more specifically orange Pet Nats and the wines are named after the altitude of the plots, such as 330slm, 450 slm and 280 slm. Whilst technically an old-school Prosecco with Glera grapes but using the Col Fondo method (the same as Ancestral, Pet Nats) these wines taste completely different to Prosecco, obviously.
There are also sparkling wines called OX and MOZ, as well as a table red wine.
Costadila: A Pioneer of Italian Natural Wine
Costadila winery was founded by Ernesto Cattel, who sadly passed away a few years ago. He was known for coupling the 'Col Fondo' (Ancestral) old way of making Prosecco with the use of skin-contact fermentation. Now run by Alex Della Vecchia and a team, the winery remains one of the most iconic natural wineries of Italy.
Costadila Pet Nats
The flavours of Costadila wines can be very refreshing and crisp, and often with a slight aromatic edge thanks to the use of Moscato in some references, such as MOZ. For best results, chill the wine well, then turn the bottle upside down to integrate the sediment to the rest of the wine before opening.
The Costadila sparkling wines work great as an aperitif before dinner, enjoying on a warm afternoon but can also work well with food. We like to enjoy Costadila wines like MOZ or 450slm with pizza or spicy Asian food, as the bright acidity cleanses the palate.
