Tasting Notes: "Macaia" is a word of the Ligurian dialect, probably of Greek origin (from malakia, languor), or perhaps English ("muggy air"). It indicates a particular meteorological condition that occurs in the Gulf of Genoa, the sky is overcast and the humidity is high. Given its specificity, the word has taken over in nautical and meteorological terminology. Over time, the term has also taken on a metaphorical meaning, indicating a particular melancholy and gloomy mood, mixed with anger. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 15/20 days. Affinage takes place in steel tanks and 4 months in old wood barrique and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: “Mutabilis” is a rosé wine; the name comes from an ancient Chinese rose called Mutabilis Chinensis. After the winemakers experimented with different blends for a few years, they decided to make this wine with 100% Freisa, as this was the grape variety that gave us the best expression of a rosé wine in their terroir. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 2 hours and then are pressed for fermentation. Affinage takes place in stainless steel for 10 months and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: This wine is a Nebbiolo rose’ pet nat. The nebbiolo grapes are destemmed and crushed after harvest, it sits on skins 12/18 hours, which gives it the rose colour. Then the juice is spontaneously and slowly fermented , no additions made. Once dry, meaning all the sugars have been transformed in to alcohol and carbon dioxide (6/8 weeks), is racked and moved outdoor to avoid malolactic fermentation, no sulfates are added. Kept on fine lees until spring time and than racked before the sur tirage, made with must that has been frozen at vintage. This is a versatile rose', that works pretty well as an aperitif but also matches great with food, especially in spring and summer. Fresh and zippy but with a pleasant weight to the palate and some tannins, it shows floral/fruity characters and some funky notes. This is a super fun and pure wine that you will not find in many places.

Tasting Notes: La Favorita is an old native vine of Langa and Roero, which is well suited to poor soils, typically sandy. The DNA of the grape vine is the same as that of Vermentino from Sardinia and Liguria, which is why it is thought that the grape has a common origin and was spread thanks to the Savoy family. Straw yellow wine, the bouquet is fruity and floral: hay, fresh flowers and banana; on the palate it is fresh and soft, with good balance.

The Crazy Crazy is a Pet Nat from a colorful Rheinhessen variety mix. In the nose with a lot of freshness, citrus notes, only discreet wildness, tart spiciness, crisp, yellow fruit, summer freshness, some quince and chamomile, animating and with zing. On the palate with fresh acidity, again very crisp and lively, gentle perlage, fragrant with a floral touch, fizzes and wants to be swallowed and then again and again.

On the palate with a charming and juicy start, soft and again with yellow fruit, pineapple, yellow peach and ripe pear, very decent tannic structure and out the back again herbs and a fine tart touch.

Dry mouth, medium body, higher acids, tannin grip is very boldly set and can also flirt with some red wines. It is also spicy in the mouth, and above all, the wine has an abundance of structure. Medium-bodied, with a surprisingly moderate alcohol level depending on the variety, the origin and also the (strong) style of the house, which, however, really calms down. At the moment, the tannins are a little rough, but the wine can travel nicely into the future.
