While the whole world was talking about the extinction of Trebbiano di Soave, the three Tessari sisters set out on a mission: to save an almost forgotten grape variety. In collaboration with Professor Attilio Scienza from the University of Milan, they selected the best clones of old Trebbiano vines and planted the Massifitti vineyard in 2006 – named after the "dense rocks", the large, compact basalt boulders that characterise the south-facing slope. Only two hectares at an altitude of 300 metres, where the volcanic minerality shows itself in its purest form. What is produced here is unique: probably the only single-varietal Trebbiano di Soave in the world. It matures for 15 months in stainless steel on the fine lees, then a further 12 months in the bottle before the sisters release it.

The result is beguilingly clear: brilliant straw yellow in colour, with a nose of citrus fruits and sweet spices over mineral tones and almost marine hints. Clear and vertical on the palate, with lively acidity and an elegant, creamy structure. The finish is long and savoury. A pioneering experiment that makes history and proves it: Sometimes it pays to swim against the tide. SUPERIORE.DE

"A dense and lemony wine with flavours of green apples, white pepper, leaves and lemons. Sparkling and lively on the palate, with a tangy note. It is medium-bodied, savoury and spicy. Tight phenolic finish, but still full-bodied and good." James Suckling
