Merkki: Maso Martis

TRENTO D.O.C. CLASSIC METHOD MADAME MARTIS

We nurtured a dream to craft a classic method wine that would fully reflect their masterful skills in producing sparkling wine, an expertise that grew steadily more impressive with each successive vintage. There are only 500 bottles of this exceptional classic method that we wanted to produce with our best grapes combining the elegance of Pinot Nero with the fragrance of Chardonnay and the softness of Pinot Meunier. “Madame Martis” is in fact a successful synthesis of valuable items that have always characterized the harmonic and decisive style of sparkling wines Maso Martis. The first vintage-dated bottle was from the 1999 harvest, and after eight years of maturation on the lees, it debuted during an exclusive event dedicated to this rare this rare classic sparkling wine at the 2008 Merano WineFestival. “Madame Martis”, the name we chose, is dedicated to our two daughters Alessandra and Maddalena, who represent the future of Maso Martis. This special Riserva will be produced only in vintages considered appropriate to its exceptional character, making it a truly unique experience for those who uncork one of the few hundreds of bottles of Madame Martis and make the magic of our dream come true.
