Peteto — whose Ainu name means 'light' — is a lightly sparkling red pét-nat from Kamui Metot Nupuri, made entirely from Yamasachi grapes grown biodynamically (JAS organic certified) at the Kakkomi Vineyard in Honbetsu, Tokachi. Whole clusters rest on their skins for about a day before a gentle low-pressure press; fermentation runs roughly three weeks on wild yeast alone, with no added sulfites, fining, or filtration, and the wine finishes its fermentation in the bottle in the ancestral (méthode ancestrale) style. Production is tiny — only a few hundred bottles per vintage.
Among Kamui Metot Nupuri's Yamasachi cuvées, Peteto is the one that captures the grape's wild, ancestral-method energy most directly — essential for anyone curious about Hokkaido pét-nat.
