Dakishvili Kisi PetNat (Pétillant Naturel) is a refreshing and natural sparkling wine from the Kakheti region in Georgia. This wine is produced by the renowned Dakishvili Family Vineyards, a family known for generations for their dedication to traditional and innovative winemaking. Made from the indigenous Kisi grape and according to the traditional Pétillant Naturel method, this wine offers an authentic and unfiltered wine experience.
Production Process
The Kisi grapes are carefully selected from the family vineyards. After harvest, the grape juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts. Before fermentation is fully complete, the wine is bottled. In the bottle, the remaining sugars are converted into carbon dioxide, resulting in natural bubbles. This method, known as Pétillant Naturel, creates an unfiltered and sulfite-free wine, ensuring a lively, pure expression of the grape.
