Masi's Moxxe is a pioneering sparkling wine that beautifully showcases the historic Venetian expertise in the appassimento technique, adapted here for a fresh, contemporary style. Crafted in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, this unique blend combines Pinot Grigio—harvested at optimum ripeness for crisp acidity—with Verduzzo grapes that have undergone a brief appassimento drying process. This drying technique, a hallmark of Masi's heritage, imparts a surprising depth, golden hue, and subtle honeyed complexity to the otherwise bright, floral, and citrus-driven Pinot Grigio base. The secondary fermentation is carried out via the Charmat method, resulting in a lively, elegant spumante that bridges the gap between vivacious freshness and structural complexity.
