“NumerOdue” NV ($40)

Col Fondo style: second fermentation in bottle (from June after the harvest), no disgorgement or dosage. Labelled non-vintage but from 2016, left in the bottle for 36 months before release. Verdicchio is one of the best white grape varieties in Italy, and gives a fresh, aromatic zip to the wine.
