Ratings
Every bottle is slightly different but always delightful. Bright lemonade-like bouquet with extra notes of spoiled apricots, field flowers, kōcha kinoko and yeast. Fizzy, fresh and fun to drink. The aftertaste is flavourful and long.
Something is clearly amiss in new releases by Costadilà. The new Mòz is not a sparkling Ageno anymore. It's not even sparkling, just fizzy. Cidre, kōcha kinoko and spoiled stone fruits. Fresh, flavourful, bright and easy to drink, yet not fascinating.
It's always a pleasure to enjoy this beautiful orange Col Fondo, full of kombucha, pear, medicinal herbs, lilac flowers and slightly rotten orange. Fresh, bubbly, easy to enjoy, but not simple.
I like sparkling wines made by Costadila. While being not demanding and fun, they still have character. Móz is my favorite from the line so far. Mandarin, rotten mandarin skin, flowers, tea and kombucha hints. I would love it to have more acidity, but other than this it's a great wine.
When you have to party, there must be a sparkling wine, as bubbles make everything brighter and fizzy. Now take this orange Col Fondo, Moz, a sophisticated beauty, full of rotting orange peel, flowers, tea and hints of juniper. Refreshing, and easy to enjoy.
P.S. I did it! I spilled it on the table and on the floor!
Just think about it. Orange Col Fondo. Now stop. And reread what I just said. YES, it's an ORANGE Col Fondo. Apricot, IPA, dried herbs, tea and juniper. Good acidity, balance is there. Amazing.

Ernesto Cattel is one of the first people that started to restore popularity of Col Fondo, e.g. ancestrale method, which differs from Pet Nat by having second fermentation in the bottle and with no filtration. And to make it even more interesting, his Col Fondo is macerated!
