The grape, heart of PECETTE
Our aperitifs are built on a base of dealcoholized French white wine. Made from Merlot vinified as a blanc de noirs on clay-limestone soils, our dealcoholized wine benefits from all the freshness and finesse that a continental climate can offer, an ideal asset for preserving the finesse and aromatic balance of the grape amid today's global warming.
It is a resolutely modern and authentic alternative to the traditional aperitif.
The making of PECETTE
The dealcoholized white wine
Our Merlot is harvested during the grape harvest, then vinified as a blanc de noirs to obtain a dry, aromatic white wine. Once vinification is complete, it is carefully dealcoholized under vacuum at a temperature between 35 and 40 °C, so as to preserve its structure and freshness, before being blended.
Distillation
Our Mediterranean plants, spices and citrus are water-distilled in traditional Charentais stills. This method delicately captures all the finesse and purity of their natural aromas.
The art of blending
The plant extracts are then blended with the dealcoholized wine. It is during this stage that the balance between flavours is born and each recipe reveals its own personality.
A gentle finish
The final recipe is pasteurized at low temperature for a few minutes. Just enough to guarantee stability and quality, without altering its aromas and style.
Thanks to this process, we obtain complex, modern and intense alcohol-free aperitifs, where every sip expresses the sun and the Mediterranean art of living.
PECETTE. No alcohol, no compromise, just the Mediterranean.
