Description
What kind of wine it is
Foss Marai Marai de Marai Extra Dry is a sparkling wine made from Glera grapes that expresses an unmistakable fruity and light style. In the glass, it shines with a bright straw yellow colour, with a fine perlage that precedes delicate hints of crisp apple and pear. On the palate, it stands out for its rounded and lively flavour, offering a sip that is always fresh and fragrant. The sugar dosage and well-balanced acidity make this wine extremely approachable, perfect for enhancing delicate fish dishes and refined desserts.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Veneto, on the hills of the Upper Treviso area in the Valdobbiadene region. In this hilly landscape, Foss Marai carries out careful work focused on the recovery of native grape varieties and agricultural experimentation. This specific origin ensures a fresh and smooth drink, enhancing the primary aromas of the grape. The family's care is also reflected in their ongoing research into natural yeasts, an approach that respects the authenticity of the area while guaranteeing high organoleptic quality.
How it is produced
Vinification involves an initial fermentation in stainless steel, ideal for preserving the aromatic purity of the Glera. The sparkling process then takes place in a pressurised tank using the Charmat Method, defining the soft and balanced character typical of the Extra Dry style. The result is a lively glass that best expresses its aromatic structure at a temperature of 6-8 °C. Thanks to its solid organoleptic structure, this wine boasts excellent longevity for its category, capable of evolving over several years.
