Melino Apple Cider with Raspberry

Melino - Apple Cider from South Tyrol refined with Raspberries and Ginger

The MELINO is an apple cider from South Tyrol from the Hofkellerei Maffei in Kurtinig on the Wine Route, refined with pink raspberries and spicy ginger. This sparkling, heavenly aperitif is zesty and refreshing, fruity and seductive, in short, wonderfully delightful. Do you love the fruity taste of cider but want to keep the alcohol content low? Then Maffei Melino Cider is just right for you! With only 3% vol. alcohol, this Alpine Fruit Cider belongs to the popular low ABV (alcohol by volume) category, and is a wonderfully sparkling, fantastically fruity drink with moderate alcohol content.

Let yourself be inspired by the Melino apple aperitif, a glowing pink apple cider with fruity sweetness and a fine pearl texture. This sparkling apple wine tastes of plump, ripe apples, juicy raspberries and a hint of ginger, transporting you on a journey to the South Tyrolean apple orchards. Regional South Tyrolean apples are gently pressed by Giorgio Maffei for this sparkling cider with a fine perlage, refined with raspberries and ginger, and crafted to capture the full apple aroma and natural freshness.

Enjoy Melino Apple Cider as a refreshing accompaniment to light appetizers and vegetarian dishes, on social evenings or for a special moment of indulgence all to yourself. "With Melino Cider, the color alone, in pink and graded rosé tones, as well as the extra-fruity sparkling enjoyment, is captivating. Melino owes its special coloring and sweet aroma to fresh raspberries. Plus a pinch of ginger: for that special, subtly refreshing note," describes daughter Stephanie Maffei, the Melino Apple Secco. "By the way, the Alpine Fruit Cider is great as a fruity base for cocktails," she adds.

Melino Cider - from the Hofkellerei Maffei

At Hofkellerei Maffei in Kurtinig, craftsmanship is paramount. In the sunny South Tyrolean lowlands, the Maffei family has been cultivating three hectares of apple orchards with old trees close to nature for four generations with great passion. Owner and oenologist Giorgio Maffei, who brings around thirty years of experience in sparkling wine production, hand-picks the best apples from his own cultivation to ensure the unique quality of his products. The secret lies both in the careful selection of apple varieties that harmonize perfectly and make the cider a taste experience, and in the careful production. After harvesting, the apples are gently pressed and the must is naturally fermented in pressure tanks by adding yeast. These pressure tanks bind the carbonic acid produced during fermentation in the cider and a fine sparkle is created. Each bottle of cider is the result of careful craftsmanship and decades of experience.
