Mae Son - Frizzante Red Wine 2022

Mae Son, located in the village of Povo, Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy is owned by winemaker Matteo Furlani.

The entire vineyard is 6 hectares, on the slopes of the Vigolana mountain; Cantina Furlani spans an additional 8 hectares in the same location, as well as on the hills overlooking the city of Trento

The grapes are harvested by hand when they achieve ideal ripeness, typically in late September. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in open stainless steel vats, with 20 days of skin contact. The freshly fermented wine is then aged on the lees in steel vats before aging in barrels for 6 months. It is then racked and undergoes a second fermentation in bottle, where it rests for 4 months.
