What is Pet-Nat: why it is the most fun wine
Pét-nat (pétillant naturel) is an ancient natural sparkling wine that finishes fermentation right in the bottle. Read on to find out what it's all about and which pét-nat to try at LEVEL wine bar in Batumi.
What is Pet-Nat and why it's the most fun wine
Pétillant naturel translates to "naturally sparkling." The wine is bottled before primary fermentation finishes, trapping the carbon dioxide inside. No dosage, no added sugar — just grapes and wild yeasts.
How Pet-Nat differs from Prosecco
Prosecco is made using the Charmat method in large steel tanks, while Champagne uses the traditional method with a secondary fermentation. Pet-Nat is the oldest method (méthode ancestrale), featuring a single fermentation right in the bottle. That's why it's lively, slightly cloudy, unpredictable, and incredibly food-friendly. True punk rock in the world of sparkling wines.
Which Pet-Nat to try in Batumi
In LEVEL's wine list a unique bottle awaits you — Tsitska Pet-Nat. Bright green apple, fresh brioche, and a lively, playful texture. This wine is perfect as an aperitif or paired with our signature nadugi spheres with adjika. If you are looking for where to go in the evening in Batumi for honest natural flavors, drop by for a tasting.
Drink Pet-Nat at sunset by the sea
And if you feel like having a glass of sparkling to the sound of the waves, stop by our second location — LEVEL Beach on the New Boulevard. Here, pet-nats and our signature cocktails flow freely to DJ sets and live bands, with the season running from May to October.
How to drink
Ice cold, from any glass, without unnecessary ceremonies or sommelier snobbery. Remember: the sediment at the bottom of the bottle is not a defect, but the character of a living wine.
