A Gin and Tonic sort of bubbly

Produced entirely from the indigenous white variety Pignoletto, “Steve” is named after, we kid you not, actor Steve Zahn - specifically in his role in the 2016 film Captain Fantastic. This wine showcases the grape’s bristling acidity and straightforwardly delicious flavors of oranges and lemons. Aromatically, the combination of botanicals and spices remind us of a great gin-and-tonic, with rich candied almond and nougat. This “Steve” will leave you smacking your lips, salivating, and reaching for the nearest hunk of cheese or meat. 

Delicious With

Perfect for entertaining, this wine is delicious with salumi, cheese, and olives.

Their Cred

In 2008, Gianluca Bergianti founded Terrevive with 16 hectares in the village of Gargallo di Carpi just outside Modena, Italy. Since day one, Gianluca has operated using strict biodynamic principles. He has since expanded to 35 hectares, growing cereals, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and, of course, grapes—although vineyards, planted entirely to native varieties, comprise just 10 total hectares in this calculatedly polycultural setting.

Unlike the conventional Charmat method, in which bubbles are created in a large steel tank (known as an autoclave) via careful calculations and additions of sugars and yeasts, Bergianti employs a lower-tech method, adding grape must and nothing else to his dry wines as they’re being bottled for their secondary fermentation. Leftover natural yeasts devour the sugars in the must, creating a gentle and natural effervescence in each bottle within about three months.
