Introduction:
The 2022 Pomalo Debit Pet-Nat is a lively sparkling wine from the Dalmatia region of Croatia. Produced by Pomalo Wine Co., this wine embodies the relaxed "pomalo" lifestyle of the Dalmatian coast, offering a refreshing and zesty experience.

Terroir:
Sourced from inland vineyards near the historic town of Šibenik, the vines are planted on slopes and semi-slopes at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 meters above sea level. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, combined with cool nights and constant breezes, contributes to the grapes' balanced ripeness and acidity. The soil composition includes fertile red and brown topsoil with finer brown clay stones over a rugged limestone foundation.

Appearance:
Light, hazy straw-yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles, indicative of its natural fermentation process.

Nose:
Aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by subtle yeasty notes from the lees aging, creating an inviting and fresh bouquet.

Palate:
On the palate, it is crisp and effervescent, showcasing flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a hint of brioche. The wine's natural acidity and slight tannic structure from skin contact provide a well-balanced and refreshing mouthfeel.

Finish:
A clean, invigorating finish with lingering notes of citrus and a touch of minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of the Dalmatian coast.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Pomalo Debit Pet-Nat captures the essence of the Dalmatian "pomalo" philosophy—taking it easy and enjoying life. Its harmonious blend of fruit flavors, natural effervescence, and balanced acidity makes it an excellent choice for casual gatherings or as an aperitif.
