Product notes

MAI DIRE MAI is born out of the encounter of the time-honoured experience of the Pasqua family and the exceptional terroir of the Montevegro vineyard: the 23-hectare vineyard is situated on the top of a hill at an altitude of 350 metres between the Val d’Illasi and the Val di Mezzane, characterised by a clayey and calcareous soil in origin, ensuring optimal mineral content. An iconic line characterised by its elegance, complexity and unique palate.

Production notes

The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected, then dried in crates for 4 months to obtain a higher sugar concentration. After pressing, a cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out, while malolactic fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature of 22-25°C for 40 days. Ageing in French oak barrels (70% in 225-litre barriques and 30% in 500-litre tonneaux, exclusively new wood) lasts 24 months.

Tasting notes

A wine of great concentration, structure, elegance and power. Still young but with great personality. The nose reveals intense aromas of underbrush, morello cherry, cedar wood, cocoa and hints of leather. The palate is warm and rich, enveloping and complex, with notes of ripe black fruit, cloves, dark chocolate and mocha. A wine of remarkable complexity and freshness, also due to its notable acidity. The tannins are firm yet elegant with a charming and persistent finish.
