Cuvée de Pesga
Ca' del Brado

FEBRUARY 2024.
37.5 cl bottle (€12.50 from the pub fridge).
Freshly uncorked aromas of yellow peach (and I would also say ripe apricot), wood and light mold (typical Brettato smell)
Versata is gold in colour, with darker and more veiled yellow reflections.
The foam is almost non-existent and even the superficial film that is created on the verge disappears quickly.
In the mouth, the beer is flat/smooth but not in a negative sense, medium body that exudes peach pulp which evolves with a pleasant acidulous note, not astringent but which perfectly complements the juicy and slightly unripe taste of the peaches. All framed by an aftertaste of woodiness that is always present and has the function of rounding off every edge that the naturally fermented fruit could have given, giving elegance to the entire drink and making it, in my opinion, more valuable.
Fruity notes alternate, with a funky aftertaste, but far from edgy, rather with elegant notes of wooden barrel.
This brewery, or rather the true definition is "brewing cellar", is certainly part of the excellence of spontaneous fermentation and wood aging in Italy.
