Its name comes from the local dialect word for “noble,” reflecting the wine’s historic connection to the distinguished wines of Valtellina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant garnet-red in colour, with ruby highlights, Mazèr offers an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, rhubarb, tamarind and potpourri, layered with blackberry, blueberry, liquorice and hints of bitter spice. The palate is dry and savoury, with a slender yet substantial feel, velvety tannins and a deep, balanced finish lifted by citrus notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from historic plots in Chiuro, where south-facing terraces sit 400–450 metres above sea level on sandy clay soils. Hand-harvested in late September, the fruit is partly given a gentle drying before fermentation; the remaining grapes are vinified traditionally and brought into the final blend for added complexity. The wine is aged for 20 months, split between once-used French oak barrels and larger wooden casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C, allowing the wine to show its aromatic detail and alpine freshness.
