"“Mazér”, is a dialect word in Valtellina meaning “distinguished”, an apt description for this wine’s character. A small part of the Nebbiolo grapes are dried for a few days, the juices of which then concentrate and the wine thus obtained is subsequently added to the rest of the grape mass, lending dark fruit notes to the final aroma of the Mazér and further enriching taste sensations with soft tannins." - WINERY NOTES

In the glass, Mazer displays an inviting garnet hue with ruby highlights; a pronounced, fruity nose of blackberry and bilberry is joined by classic woodsy, spicy aromas like star anise, bay leaf, and juniper. In the mouth, it's delicious and savory, with elegant, velvety tannins.

Pair this Nebbiolo with northern Italian classic like lightly spiced ragu' (star anise, clove) over creamy polenta, or international classics like roasted beef or lamb, game, and well-aged cheeses.
