Beyond the Label
The three-time Italian Winery of the Year Cantine Due Palme makes some of our best-selling southern Italian reds (like Pillastro), but winemaker Francesco Fortunato Maci wanted to prove they could also craft a fine sparkler. And just like that, the appple- and pear-flavored Altestelle Spumante was born.
Altestelle is crafted from Negroamaro, a red grape with high acidity that imparts unparalleled vibrancy and structure to its bubbles. 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 a persistent mousse, wonderful freshness and just a whisper of sweetness.
With ripe orchard fruit flavors and citrus accents, it's delightful on its own, but also lovely alongside 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.
