Their 7.5 hectare estate, located in the Arroscia valley in western Liguria, is planted mostly to Pigato, with Rossese, Granaccia, Syrah, Barbera and Vermentino making up the rest of their holdings. Planted at 200-300 meters above sea level on stone terraces, it's clear why this region is lovingly referred to as the Maritime Alps.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMajè\" bottling from the estate comes from younger vines and is the earliest drinking offering. Grapes are destemmed, gently pressed and fermented at cold temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The finished wine gets a short 5 month rest on its lees in the same tanks before being bottled. 2020 was a great vintage in Liguria, producing wines that were slightly lower in alcohol than previous vintages, and the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMajè bottling really benefitted from the cooler growing season. Medium-bodied, perfectly balanced and wonderfully zesty, with an herbal nose of thyme and rosemary, backed by ripe grapefruit and delicate floral aromas.
