TOP SPARKLER
Bursting with freshness, wild-flower aromas and subtle citrus flavours.
Crisp and remarkably refreshing dry white wine with a lovely bubbliness. The lively flavours of pear, lemon and apple burst in your mouth. The Maltempo finishes on a slightly nutty almond note that prevents the wine having any hint of sweetness. Perfect for an aperitivo or party.
This sparkler is our best-selling wine, with a very loyal group of followers.

From the Winemaker

“Maltempo” means bad weather and is the name of the nearby Maltempo River, which rises after storms, flooding the vineyard and bringing much-needed water to the grapes.

We use the Martinotti method of wine making, which originated in 1895, and combine it with new wine-making technology that enables us to control the process. This retains the brightly acidic citrus palate and delicate aromatic floral aromas typical of the variety, bringing freshness and intensity to the wine.

Verdicchio grapes produce virtually colourless wines. Delicate and unique.
