Description
The Da Ros family is based in the picturesque hamlet of Sarmede, just north of Conegliano (the ‘Classic’ area of Prosecco Superiore), and they are nicknamed ‘Masot’ (“small land-owner” in local dialect) by the townsfolks.
Daniele & Andrea are the two brothers behind this small family enterprise that blends their oenological expertise with the traditions and teaching of grandpa Arturo.
Sarmede is also called ‘Fairy-Tales Town’ because of the annual Exposition of Illustrations for Children; which gave the Da Ros brothers the idea for the name ‘Masot – Fiabe di Vino’ (or ‘Fairy-Tale Wines from a Small Land-owner’).
The Masot’s vineyards are certified organic since 2020; and all their sparkling wines are made with the ‘Millesimato’ classification: only grapes from the currant harvest are used,
therefore increasing quality and purity of expression.
Glera grapes are hand-harvested from the Palu’ vineyards and fermented taking a leaf from the ‘ancestral method’: the wine is bottled unfiltered during the 2nd fermentation
(1st fermentation to make the wine; 2nd fermentation to create the effervescence).
Differently than simpler ‘pet-nat’ wines which use the primary fermentation to create the sparkle, this procedure creates more complexity and an unusual long ageing potential.
Unfiltered, this wine will taste differently each time is opened.
Great with soft cheese and charcuteries. Drink cold within 4 years
