2024
GRAPES: MÜLLER-THURGAU, TRAMINER, SAUVIGNON BLANC
SKIN CONTACT: 2 WEEKS
REGION: TRENTINO, ITALY
Producer: Cantina Furlani is the high-altitude project of Matteo Furlani, a fourth-generation winemaker tending tiny parcels at over 700 metres in the Dolomites, around Vigolo Vattaro near Trento. His wines are mountain-fresh, ancestral-method sparklers made with a light, natural hand.
Vinification: A blend of Müller-Thurgau, Traminer, and Sauvignon Blanc given two weeks on the skins, then spontaneously fermented in stainless steel. In spring, a little frozen must is added to spark a second fermentation in the bottle — the ancestral method — and the wine is left on its lees, undisgorged. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur.
Tasting notes: light-bodied and lightly sparkling, green apple, lemon zest and summer stone fruit, with a saline, textured finish
Pairings: prosciutto and melon, alpine vegetable strudel, young Asiago
DRINK: NOW TO 2027
