WINEMAKING
The grapes are hand-picked with careful selection. Following gentle pressing,
fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between 20-22°C. The next step
is ageing in French oak 500-litre casks and 225-litre barrels (mainly new or second
use) for 18 months.
TASTING NOTES
This is a wine to be discover that reveals itself gradually; austere on the first sip but
then all its power and personality comes to the fore. Intense and complex, elegant and
ethereal. On the nose, it offers overtones of tobacco, cedar wood, underbrush and
balsamic notes. On the palate, it is warm and intense with morello cherry, clove and
coffee aromas, very fine and rounded tannins. Decisive, with high acidity and a long,
enduring finish with spicy notes.
HARVEST 2015
The year 2015 was characterised by climatic extremes (temperatures, solar radiation)
which subjected the vines to considerable stress. The winter passed with high
temperatures and the following months, albeit with frequent alternations, marked
twenty-year records in maximum values, in particular for the month of July. With
regard to rainfall, above average rainfall was recorded in the very first months of the
year, only to have a severe shortage in April. The following months, especially July,
also remained below average.
MAI DIRE MAI is born out of the coming together of the time-honoured experience of
the Pasqua family and the exceptional terroir of the Montevegro vineyard: the 23
hectare vineyard is situated on the top of a hill at an altitude of 350 metres between
Val d’Illasi and Val di Mezzane, the soil of which is basalt and calcareous in origin,
ensuring an optimal mineral content. An iconic line characterised by its elegance,
complexity and unique palate.
