Nivarius 'Lia' Pet-Nat Rosado is a refreshing pale rose that captures the spirit of Rioja's cool-climate vineyards. Produced by Bodegas Nivarius, an estate renowned for its dedication to sustainable viticulture and the revival of rare indigenous white grape varieties, this wine showcases the Garnacha grape in a vibrant, naturally sparkling style. The vineyards, nestled at an impressive 800 metres above sea level in Badaran, benefit from warm days and cool nights for a long, gentle ripening period that preserves aromatic intensity and freshness. The calcareous and ferrous clay soils infuse the wine with mineral depth and lively fruit character, while environmentally conscious farming ensures purity and expression of terroir. Crafted using the traditional 'Metodo Ancestral', 'Lia' Pet-Nat Rosado completes its fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a wine with a gentle and natural effervescence.
