Maim Valtènesi D.O.C. 75cl (2016) COSTARIPA MATTIA VEZZOLA

Groppello, an ancient vine steeped in the history of Valtenèsi since 1250, finds its ultimate expression in Maim by Costaripa, a wine crafted with reverence for tradition since 1990. This ruby red elixir, with subtle garnet highlights, beckons with an intense bouquet of violets, ripe fruit, and forest berries, intertwined with the warmth of spices. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, Maim matures gracefully, revealing a palate of exquisite balance. Flint, pepper, and olive wood dance harmoniously, while sweet tannins lend a velvety softness characteristic of the grape variety. Full-bodied yet remarkably fresh, Maim captivates with its depth and complexity, promising a sensory journey that endures with each passing year. This wine, bottled in the spring of its second year after harvest, matures gracefully, offering a taste that remains well-rounded in all its elements, a testament to the timeless allure of Groppello and the artistry of Costaripa.
