Sparkling
Mapoi
By Cornarea, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Cornarea's sparkling wine. It was first made in 1985 and then put off for thirty years: the name Mapoi means roughly 'but then', from the family's repeated 'we must make the spumante again... but not this year'.
Tasting notes
A characteristic mineral note on the nose, from the magnesium in the soil. Well balanced on the palate, with a pleasantly long finish that is never bitter thanks to the natural softness of the grapes.
Pairs well with
Balanced acidity and moderate sweetness make it suitable for the whole meal, not only as an aperitif.
