Sui Lieviti 2022 Style|Cloudy Funky + Wild

Sui Lieviti 2022 Style|Cloudy Funky + WildA huge house favourite when it comes to sparkling wine here at Cave Wayward, so look no further if you seek a recommendation. Sui Lieviti' roughly translates as on lees, meaning that all of the grape must that starts the second fermentation in bottle is left exactly where it is, leading to the wines sandy haze and salinity in flavour. We absolutely love this style (also known as Col Fondo) and urge you to give it a try if youre not already familiar.
