Cantina Lavis

Cantina Lavis is an historical winery located at the heart of the Trentino subregion. Founded in 1850 by the Cembran family, it has been a cooperative since 1948.

Maso Franch is bright golden yellow in colour with evident green highlights. Its mineral aromas are a prelude to a more fruity, citrusy scent. The evolution in the glass is continuous and intriguing, featuring wet flint and a slightly smoky note that completes the olfactory sensations. In the mouth it has an imposing structure and great depth. Broad and tight, with an evident saline component that caresses the palate.

A great pairing for seafood dishes - in particular crustaceans and courses dominated on by vegetables.

The perfect time for harvest is established by testing the grapes in the vineyard. Only when fragrance and salinity are joined by ripe and sweet sensations is the grape harvested by hand into small crates. After soft pressing and slow fermentation, the wine begins its long journey inside the cellar: an extremely rational and artisan procedure in which each passage undergoes meticulous assessment. The wine spends at least 24 months on its own lees, part in steel and part in small barrels made of French oak. Minimal racking, lots of patience and constant tasting allow this wine to express all the potential of a unique and extraordinary territory. Only after spending several months ageing in the bottle is Maso Franch ready to be uncorked.
