Orange Wine Maia, Forti del Vento (75cl)

Maia is an orange wine obtained from cortese grape, the same grape that produces the Gavi, from an old vineyard that had been abandoned and is now cultivated following the biodynamic philosophy.

Maia is an orange wine that does not contain added sulphites and follows the natural philosophy, with the fermentation made using yeasts naturally present on the grapes. The wine is unfiltered, resulting in an orange wine with a rich and warm nose with mature white fruit notes, full, elegant, balanced and structured with a long finish.

Maia is a very versatile orange wine, an all round wine, that pairs many dishes, from pasta to white meat to fresh, medium matured cheeses. Maia should be served at about 13/14 degrees.
