Parallel ("nested") regions of a Fermi surface (FS) drive instabilities of the electron fluid, for example, the spin density wave in elemental chromium. In one-dimensional materials, the FS is trivially fully nested (a single nesting vector connects two "Fermi dots"), while in higher dimensions only a fraction of the FS consists of parallel sheets. We demonstrate that the tiny angle regime of twist bilayer graphene (TBLG) possesses a phase, accessible by interlayer bias, in which the FS consists entirely of nestable "Fermi lines", the first example of a completely nested FS in a two-dimensional (2D) material.
