MaZero 2015 - Masiero

MaZero - Masiero

MaZero is a Blanc de Blanc Pas Dosè sparkling wine, produced from Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes come from vines grown in biodynamic on soils of volcanic origin. The refermentation takes place in the bottle with the addition of grape must only. Ages 4 years on yeasts. MaZero is amber yellow. On the nose you can perceive citrus and elderberry notes with a slight sweet spiciness. In the mouth it is dry, sapid, rich in nerve which makes it pleasant to drink even with fatty foods. A very elegant and extraordinarily fine bubble.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature around 6/8 ° C in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

Perfect to accompany spicy cuisine, try it with risotto with chicken breast with curry cream.

Cellar: Masiero

The Masiero wine-growing company was born in 2000 by a wager from Franco, owner of the company, to produce Merlot in Selva, a town on the Trinité hills between the Dolomites and the Venetian plains, about 20 km. from Vicenza. A beautiful natural amphitheater that welcomes the vineyards Selva, placed on volcanic soil, where Merlot and Pinot Nero grapes are cultivated, and Sant'Urbano. Franco at the beginning of his adventure has a conventional vine cultivation approach but soon he realizes that this method undermined life within the vineyard. Thanks to the encounter with some wine-growing friends who were approaching the biodynamic approach, it has an illumination and pushes it to deepen the knowledge on the matter. The first vintage is in 2006 with Verdugo, only 3000 bottles of Merlot purity, and since 2014 is the beginning of a new project that tends to retrieve old vineyards of native varieties such as Garganega, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay. Today the Masiero line includes in addition to Verdugo, Lazaro Garganega white wine, and Urban red wine obtained from a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend. Masiero wines are the natural expression of terroir.
