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.

“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.
Perfect with antipasti and fried food. The bubbles cut through the fat, adding to the crispness of the dish and freshening the mouth. Drink it with:
I was first introduced to this delightful sparkling wine at a Vino wine tasting. As a lover of bubbles it did not disappoint. I'm a huge fan and we always have it in stock at home. It is fresh, light and not overly heavy on bubbles like so many Proseccos. This is perfectly suited as an aperitif, or for a lovely summer's day barbecue, or dinner party.”
This is an up and coming Italian wine estate whose wines never disappoint me.
