Intense, complex and elegant. On the nose, it offers overtones of tobacco, cedar wood 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.

The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected, then dried in crates for 4 months to obtain a higher sugar concentration. After pressing, a cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out, while malolactic fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature of 22-25°C for 40 days. Ageing in French oak barrels (70% in 225-litre barriques and 30% in 500-litre tonneaux, exclusively new wood) lasts 24 months.
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.
