We started brewing Caos in 2012. During the years we changed the way to make it getting closer to its “sister” L’Equilibrista. We now use 40% of Malvasia wine must (courtesy of Tenuta di Bibbiano, Siena, Tuscany) and 60% of wort (always our beloved Duchessa) and after the bottling we start a year long “Metodo Classico” process in all its steps. 36 The name “Malvasia” characterizes many vines, mostly whites, scattered all around Italy. All these vines share, with varying intensity, clean apricot and yellow fruit nuances, delicate musk fragrance and a very high sugar residue. These characteristics make the Malvasia vines particularly suitable for production of sparkling wines and “Passito”. This is why we choose this grape for our Caos, a great combination of fruity and oral aromas with the refreshing acidity typical of the white grapes. The vinous pro le is prominent but the complexity of taste and aromas are wonderfully supported by the elegant perlage and the smoothness of Duchessa. The result is explosive: an impressive freshness and a unique taste. Following the grape harvest, year after year we nd new, intriguing nuances, just like the wine tradition.

Sampled from tap at Borefts 2016. Clear, pale golden yellow with a white layer. Sourish-fruity aroma of white grapes, gooseberry and some oak. Sourish-fruity, slightly sweetish taste white grapes, gooseberry and oak, followed by a short, slightly tart and dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent and a little astringent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!

At Borefts 2016. Aroma of barf, wine and booze. Flavor of barf, tart, grapes, oak and some herb or something. Nice experiment, but it only works partially.

Clear golden color with hardly any head. Aroma is white grapes, passion fruit, some minerals. Taste is white wine with tropical fruits and minerals. Basically like a white wine with some extra body.

Refreshing, very light, almost champagne. Very tasty! How on earth is this nearly 11%?! This is getting silly, stop it.
