Lively, fruit-driven and impeccably balanced, it offers a more artisanal take on the classic northern Italian spumante style. This cuvée is the result of Foss Marai’s long-standing dedication to reviving forgotten local vineyards and experimenting with precision viticulture in the foothills of the Dolomites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Marai de Marai Brut shows a pale straw-yellow color with silvery highlights and a fine, persistent mousse that speaks to careful secondary fermentation. The nose is intensely aromatic yet elegant, with notes of crisp green apple, Williams pear, white peach and citrus zest, supported by hints of acacia blossom, spring flowers and a subtle mineral edge.\n\nOn the palate, it is light-bodied but surprisingly layered, with juicy orchard fruit, lemon and a touch of nectarine wrapped in vibrant acidity and a clean, dry finish. The mousse is creamy and well-integrated, giving a sense of harmony and ease of drinking. This is a wine made to be enjoyed in its youth, when its fresh fruit profile and lively sparkle are at their most expressive, rather than for extended cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Glera grapes for Marai de Marai Brut come from steep, well-ventilated hillsides in Alto Trevigiano, an area known for its limestone- and clay-based soils that lend finesse and freshness to sparkling wines. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic intensity, typically picked by hand to ensure only healthy bunches reach the cellar. After gentle pressing and a cool temperature-controlled primary fermentation in stainless steel to capture delicate aromatics, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks (Charmat\/Martinotti method), a technique particularly suited to Glera. The result is a precise, fruit-forward spumante with a fine bead and a distinctly regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Brut is a natural companion to aperitivo hour and a wide range of light dishes: think mixed antipasti, prosciutto and melon, sushi and sashimi, ceviche, grilled prawns, tempura, or simple fish and shellfish preparations. It also pairs beautifully with soft, mild cheeses, vegetable tarts, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) for maximum freshness. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing the wine a minute or two in the glass for the aromas to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoss Marai is a respected family-owned producer based in the heart of Veneto’s sparkling wine country, with a particular focus on the hills around Valdobbiadene and the broader Alto Trevigiano area.
