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: The grapes are de-stemmed and placed in 50 hl cement tanks, where they remain for about twenty days. During this time, spontaneous fermentation takes place in contact with the grape skins without controlling the temperature. 3-4 punch downs a day are carried out. After racking, the refinement takes place in 20 hl oak barrels for about 8 months. The wine is then aged in bottles for 2 months before release. No filtration, clarification of any kind, and without any additions of sulfites.

Tasting Notes: Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. Fine and elegant bouquet with hints of white flowers which over time evolve into the typical scent of Timorasso of goudron and flint. In the mouth it is very full bodied, but at the same time very sapid and typically mineral. A sustained vein acidity keeps it alive, pleasant and very persistent.
