Le Monde
Le Monde lies between the banks of the Livenza and Meduna rivers, close to the border between the provinces of Treviso and Pordenone in Friuli Grave. The winery headquarters, built in the eighteenth century maintains the architectural characteristics of the time. Originally property of the Pistoni family, the wine farm together with the vineyards was acquired Alex Maccan in 2008.

The Vigneti Le Monde dazzles the senses with notes of young strawberries, dusty rose, crushed stone minerality, and hints of sage. Soft textures wash across the senses, carried by a stimulating mix of fine bubbles and zesty acids, giving way to floral-laced red fruits with a hint of savory spice. The finish buzzes with minerals, salty in nature, mixing with a crisp note of sour apples and making the mouth water. 2020 – 2022

Full bottle 1,555 g. Charmat method. 100% Pinot Noir. On lees for 60 days in small stainless-steel tanks. RS 6 g/l. This is vintage 2023 although it’s not on the label.
Pale coral-toned pink. Cherry-blossom nose. Fresh apples and delicate bubbles, delicate crunchiness. There is something a little bit negroni-like on the finish, which is appetising and attractive.
