Maddie is a high-altitude exploration of 100% Schiava, serving as a direct tribute to the historic Santa Maddalena DOC while operating completely outside rigid appellation constraints. Winemaker Matteo Furlani subverts the standard heavy extraction of industrial reds by treating Schiava with a brief, feather-light 4-to-5-day skin maceration. This specific vinification choice yields an ultra-pale, translucent ruby color profile that visually straddles the line between a structured dark rosé and a hyper-delicate alpine red, prioritizing a vibrant, fluid energy over density.

Structurally, the 2024 vintage showcases pure varietal typicity driven by intense alpine conditions, delivering a palate that is low in tannin, light-bodied, and defined by a puckering, water-to-wine drinkability. Expect a sensory profile packed with wild strawberry, tart cranberry juice, and a distinct herbal, smoked-peppercorn complexity, all rounded out by a faint, naturally retained carbonation. For clients looking for highly stable, pristine zero-sulfur winemaking, Furlani's masterful use of natural winter freezing temperatures to cold-stabilize his vessels provides a clean, raw, and bracingly refreshing vin de soif designed to be served chilled.
