Tenuta Maso Corno
Tenuta Maso Corno is the reality of Giulio Larcher, a young wine producer who bases his oenological philosophy on the constant search for quality, always respecting the characteristics of the Trento DOC territory, where the winery is located. We are located precisely within the municipality of Ala, on the Trentino side of the Lessini Mountains, where in 2006, after purchasing 5 hectares of vineyards located around an old farmstead, Giulio embarked on this adventure following his passion.
The Tenuta Maso Corno vineyard is located in the southern part of the Trento DOC area, where the mitigating influence of Lake Garda is most pronounced, contributing year after year to the optimal ripening of the grapes. Here Giulio Larcher breeds the noble Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties, grapes of excellence in sparkling wine production, alongside Sauvignon Blanc, a variety he uses in the production of still wines. The vines grow on dolomitic-calcareous soils at an altitude between 500 and 800 metres above sea level, with full eastern exposure. In order to maintain a consistently high level of quality, Giulio limits grape yields and harvests entirely by hand, carefully sorting the bunches of grapes. In the cellar, the grapes are first softly pressed, while the actual vinification takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks, although the Chardonnay is often processed in French oak barriques. The subsequent frothing takes place in the bottle in accordance with the Metodo Classico, associated with prolonged maturation on the lees, at the end of which the sparkling wines undergo disgorgement without subsequent dosage, thus avoiding altering the wine's purest identity.
Today, the quality of Giulio Larcher's sparkling wines is recognised both in Italy and abroad, a factor that has enabled Tenuta Maso Corno to penetrate important markets such as Russia, Japan and the Netherlands. These bubbles are appreciated for their fresh and refined style, always characterised by an incisive mineral vein.
