Avinyo Petillant 2023

Avinyo Cava makes this refreshing white in the Penedes region of Catalunya. This is their Vi d'agulla, which means "prickly wine" in Catalan, named for its slightly effervescent character. Made from a blend 80% Petit Grain Muscat and 20% Macabeu, this low alcohol, spritzy white has delicate notes of honeysuckle, tart grapefruit, lime and a nice minerality. A great bottle to serve as a distinctive apperitif at the start of a festive gathering.  Petillant is a vi d'agulla, the Catalan name for prickly wine. This vibrant and refreshing wine is the traditional summertime quaffer of the Penedès region of Catalonia, and it's perfect for drinking out of a porrón.
