Altestelle Dozen

Gilbert & Gaillard International Competition

“Entirely devoted to fruity expression, in a simple, friendly, gourmet style. A supple, charming Extra Dry.”

From Puglia’s renowned Cantine Due Palme and talented winemaker Francesco Fortunato Maci (grandson of the legendary Angelo Maci) comes Altestelle Spumante. Made with Negroamaro, this gold-medal sparkler is an elegant, complex alternative to Prosecco.

Following in the footsteps of his famous grandfather, Angelo Maci, Francesco Fortunato Maci is the newest winemaker at Cantine Due Palme. This three-time Italian Winery of the Year makes our best-selling southern Italian reds (like Pillastro), but Francesco wanted to prove they could also craft a fine sparkler to rival Prosecco. Thus, Altestelle Spumante was born—with winning results: a 92-point score and gold medal from leading wine guide Gilbert & Gaillard.

Unique among sparkling wines, Altestelle is crafted from Negroamaro, a red grape with high acidity that imparts unparalleled vibrancy and structure to the bubbly. (The wine is white in color, because Francesco doesn’t let the red grape skins mingle with the juice.) Offering more complexity and finesse than Prosecco, it has delicate bubbles, wonderful freshness plus ripe apple, pear and lemon flavors. It’s already won a coveted gold medal from leading wine guide Gilbert & Gaillard, too. Judges wrote:

“Crisp nose of juicy white fruit, with a floral dimension (acacia). Harmonious on the palate, entirely devoted to fruity expression, in a simple, friendly, gourmet style. A supple, charming Extra Dry.”

Extra Dry, by the way, is a smidge sweeter than a “Brut” sparkling wine, but still delightfully dry and fresh. Enjoy a glass on its own or pair it with hors d’oeuvres, seafood, creamy pastas and more.

Altestelle means “high stars,” as Francesco and his team always aim sky-high when crafting their top-quality wines. Order your share today, then let us know if you give Altestelle “high stars” with an online review.
