Abruxensis - Frutti di bosco
Microbirrificio Opperbacco

Vintage 2021.
On the nose fruity notes going on acidic (raspberry, cherry, red fruits).
When poured it looks like a rosé prosecco: evanescent foam, pale pink color, a lot of effervescence.
In the mouth you can find all the characteristics of "Abruxensis" (the much appreciated Farmhouse of the house. A wild ale made with raw materials from Abruzzo, using Saccharomyces and Torulaspora yeasts selected from local grapes in collaboration with the University of Teramo at the start of fermentation in their barriques that once contained Montepulciano wine from local cellars. Subsequently the inoculation of two strains of Brettanomyces yeasts takes place and the addition of the different local ingredients that will characterize the different variants, even if the basic version is really very pleasant ): very light body, with lively carbonation. The taste hides between the delicate notes of the farm (field grass, straw) that light sour note that almost recalls that of a white wine.
In this variant, the sweet impact of red fruit is counterbalanced with a slightly intense acidulous note.
However, astringency remains minimal and the light-heartedness of a simple, thirst-quenching and not at all banal drink prevails.
