Mae Son - Vino Orange 2022

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

The entire vineyard is calcareous soil with clay and porphyry content, medium textured, located 300-720m above sea level — the grapes benefit from fresh Northern winds and the famous Ora del Garda winds

The grapes are hand-harvested at the start of September, then destemmed by hand. They undergo a long period of skin contact for 20-25 days, after which they are left to spontaneously ferment in open-top steel vats. The wine then ages in stainless steel until April. Unfined, unfiltered, no added SO2. 

Personality: a dreamy aperitivo wine to share with friends! Amber-tinged with golden hues. The aromatic bouquet is bursting with fresh apples and citrus notes of lime and grapefruit, with decisive minerality running through it. Pairs perfectly with all sorts of summery dishes, from vegetable-focused small plates to fresh fish.
