Tasting Note:
The 2021 Maddie Rosso is pure alpine joy—crunchy, aromatic, and feather-light. A co-ferment of native and international varieties from high in the Dolomites, it bursts with notes of tart cherry, cranberry, wild strawberry, and herbs. The palate is juicy and transparent, lifted by mouthwatering acidity and a whisper of mountain spice. At just 11% alcohol, it’s refreshing and endlessly drinkable—best served chilled. A perfect match for cured meats, mushroom pizza, or a sunny afternoon with friends.

About the Producer:
Matteo Furlani farms his family’s steep, high-altitude vineyards above Trento using strictly organic and biodynamic methods. He is part farmer, part alchemist, crafting wines that embody the Dolomites’ rugged purity. Fermentations are spontaneous, additions are minimal, and his sparkling and still wines all carry a vibrant sense of place. The Maddie line—named after his daughter—is a playful series of natural wines that capture the joy and freshness of his mountain fruit. Maddie Rosso stands out as a light, chillable red that perfectly distills Furlani’s style: bright, wild, and utterly alive.
