Il Cielo di Montemaggio IGT
We could not miss Sparkling Wine at Montemaggio
We actually decided to call this wine "Cielo di Montemaggio" during a starry night when we have recorded a time laps video of the Montemaggio's Sky. Cielo, in Italian, means sky.

Production and Fermentation
We have been growing Chardonnay in Montemaggio since 2009. We wanted to offer to our clients a good and fresh alternative to red wine especially for Summer time. Our process of selection for the grapes is anyway as rigorous as for the other grapes in Montemaggio. After the harvest and all of the stages of selections, the must is fermenting at controlled temperature in order to preserve all the aromas in this kind of wine. It is Important to underline the fact that here in Montemaggio we grow grapes with a very low yields, which is an essential parameter for making quality wine.
Our grapes are always harvested by hand in crates and afterwards we do a berry by berry selection. Everything that does not meet our high quality criteria is eliminated. During the fermentation, temperature it is regularly checked and maintained to preserve the fragrances and aromas of the future wine.
More Details
Then since that video of the night sky in Montemaggio reminded to us so much about the perlage of this wine, we decided to give to this wine the name Cielo. The perlage of this sparkling wine it is so delicate and the bubbles are so many, that it s seemed to have a thousand of stars of the Montemaggio sky in a glass. Hence comes with the vivid blue color of the labels with constellations and stars.
All the Wines that are produced here in Fattoria di Montemaggio are certified with the organic label. We are of course using grapes grown following only the organic methods of agriculture, therefore without GMOs or the use of synthetic chemicals. The sulphite content is also very low if you compared it to non-organic wines.

This wine was recommended to me by a good friend and sommelier. I was disappointed. It arrived beautiful presented in a black box and I knew I was going to try it that evening. It looked too good to resist. After a few hours of chilling in the fridge, I opened the bottle with the glass cork (a first for me) and poured the first glass. The wine looked lovely and light in the glass and I could already tell it was going to be crisp. But nothing prepared me for the incredible flavours, the delicious freshness of honey and butter. Some white wines can be overly tangy but not this one. It was so big in flavour yet delicate at the same time. You can't go wrong with this bottle and it's a bargain at £20. The only disappointment is when you've finished drinking and you doubt have another bottle of this fantastic wine in your house!

I have rarely enjoyed Chardonnay (probably because it was cheap!). Normally they taste like they have added oak as a flavour using a syringe and some oak juice (or something). I don't normally drink whites, but this was very pleasant indeed - the ladies also commented on how nice it was. Crisp but not too acidic. Smooth but not artificially so. A very nice wine to accompany our fish dish today - and actually very nice to drink on its own. It wasn't sunny (this is the UK) but it would have been even nicer had it been so! Thanks.

I wouldn't normally associate Chardonnay with Italy but this is a really stand out wine. Pale golden in the glass with a nose of tropical fruits. It's got a really good mouthfeel and you get honey and cream as it goes down. Let it breathe a little and there's hints of banana too. This really is top wine and it measures up very well against it's more expensive rivals Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet. Delivery was swift and the wine was very well packaged too. I'm definitely going to buy this again!!!!!!

Bought as a birthday gift in September 2020. My best friend loved it. The glass stopper was a great talking point, so I bought a second bottle as a Christmas gift for someone. Very happy with this and highly recommend.
