Montesecondo - Ghazii 2021 (750ml) Muscadet Sevre et Maine and was aged for 16100% Sangiovese. This Sangiovese rosato pet nat is part of Silvio Messana's new small project ngoce line, bottled in clear glass with a crown cap and Silvio's rather than Montesecondo's name. That said, the fruit for Ghazii is actually organically farmed and hand harvested Montesecondo fruit, from vines that are slow to or unable to ripen well enough for the estate reds (but the packaging identifies it as a departure from the core Montesecondo wines).
