Cantina Indigeno's Malva Gas is a pétillant naturel made from 100% Malvasia di Candia grown on 20-year-old vines at around 200 meters elevation in the Colline Teramane hills near Teramo, Abruzzo. The vineyards face south and sit on sandy soils with sections of stone that aid drainage. Grapes are farmed organically using only copper and sulfur treatments in the vineyard.
Vinification splits the harvest: one-third of the mass macerates on skins through the end of fermentation, while the remaining two-thirds has only brief skin contact of a few hours. The two portions are then combined into a single cuvée. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, with no temperature control, no fining, and no filtration. The wine is bottled before fermentation completes, capturing its bubbles in the ancestral method. Zero sulfur is added at any stage.
The result is a lightly sparkling, hazy white with a fine, persistent perlage. Expect aromatic notes of stone fruit, pineapple, and fresh herbs alongside a textural lift from lees contact. The palate is dry, fresh, and low in alcohol, keeping well under 12% ABV. About 1,890 bottles were produced of this cuvée.
The name Malva refers to the Malvasia grape, and Gas is a nod to the natural carbonation. This is a wine built for immediate drinking, though the producer notes it can surprise with a few years in the cellar.
