Characteristics
A vineyard selection of the best-quality freisa grapes gives a lightly-effervescent, deep-hued wine that releases rich wild berry fruit with the raspberry notes typical of Freisa. Dry, with a tasty vein of acidity, Luna di Maggio is an impressive wine but always easy to enjoy. It pairs well with all the traditional partners of Freisa. Enjoy at 16-18°.

Vinification
Every year we select the best grapes of Freisa from Cornareto Hill and then we bottle it in May, when wine has fully completed its natural cycle.
Luna di Maggio is mildly lively, because, before bottling it, we add in the autoclave a small quantity of sweet wine, thus re-starting the fermentation process, which enriches this wine of its typical perlage.
