Winemaking (Ancestral method): after destemming and soft crushing grapes, must ferments spontaneously, thanks to a pied de cuve of na-tive yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Ter-roir. After 40 days of alcoholic fermentation at low temperature (13-14°C), before total sugars depletion, fermenting must is transferred in stainless steel pressure tank (11-12°C), where the residual sugar is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Wine is aging on lees, with continue battonage in these pressure tanks, in order to obtain a stable wine. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bott-ling. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added.No filtration.
Residual sugars per litre: 2,5 g/l, Brut Nature (no sugar added).
Organoleptic properties: greenish yellow colour, fine and quite persi-stent bubbles; intense fruity (peach, apple and pear) and floral nose. Soft taste, tasty and very fresh.
Food pairing: ideal aperitif but also for lunch and dinner, very good with fish starters and main courses.
Serving temperature: 4-6 °C.

2019
Selected grapes cultivated at our Maìme estate in San Pietro Vernotico (Province of Brindisi), was a positive vintage for the grapes with a long growing season and a slow and gradual ripening of the crop. The high peak temperatures of the preceding vintages were notably absent, and temperatures, wind, and humidity were all quite favorable.
In terms of the size of the crop, it was more substantial due to the positive climate of the entire year: abundant rainfall during the winter and normal and regular temperatures during the spring and summer.
Useful temperature swings from daytime heat to evening and nighttime coolness, along with the established practice of picking the grapes for the white and rosé wines only during the early – and cooler - hours of the day, assisted in achieving grapes of excellent quality with a sustained and refreshing acidity. The harvest of the white grapes at the Maìme estate began approximately a week later than in other recent vintages. The Fiano grapes were picked between September 5th and 10th.

Winemaking (Ancestral method): after destemming and soft cru-shing grapes, must ferments spontaneously thanks to a pied de cuve of natural yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Terroir. The presence of very low amount of red grapes, gives wine anthocyanins and so colour. After 40 days of alcoholic fermen-tation at low temperature (13-14°C), before total sugars depletion, fermenting must is transferred in stainless steel pressure tank (11-12°C); when the residual sugar reaches 50 g per litre, temperatu-re is decrease (<10°C) to stop fermentation. Wine is aging on lees with continue bâttonage in these pressure tanks, in order to obtain a stable wine. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added. No filtration.
Residual sugars per litre: 50 g/l, sweet.
Organoleptic properties: light amber colour, fine and quite persi-stent bobbles; fruity and floral nose. Balanced and very soft taste, very fresh and sweet.

Chardonnay is a white grape variety that adapts very well to different terroirs and winemaking techniques. Fermenting and / or ageing Chardonnay wine in French oak barrels improves its complexity, structure and persistence, adding also notes of vanilla and other oak-derived spices. In addition, oak fermented/aged Chardonnay acquires longevity, developing fascinating tertiary aromas if kept properly in the bottle, even after a few years.
FOOD PAIRING: fish dishes, aged cheeses, pasta, white meat, grilled vegetables and aperitifs.
