Maestri del Sannio

This Wild Specialty Beer showcases the rustic elegance of Maestri del Sannio’s fermentation, beautifully integrated with the unique character of locally harvested sorbe, or rowan berries. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant lactic tartness and a complex bouquet of earthy funk, reminiscent of wet hay and aged leather. The sorbe fruit contributes distinctive notes of dried pomaceous fruit, floral hints, and a subtle, woody tannin that sharpens the profile. Its warm golden hue and effervescent carbonation lead into a bone-dry finish where the fruit's natural acidity and earthy undertones linger gracefully on the palate, reflecting a masterful balance of wild yeast and foraged ingredients.

Appearance. Deep gold with a warm copper tint from the fruit; moderate to low retention of a thin, off-white head; slight haze is present, typical of an unfiltered wild fermentation.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring sharp lactic acidity and complex funk; notable barnyard, straw, and earthy leather notes from Brettanomyces; the sorbe fruit adds layers of dried apricot, floral wild rose, and a hint of dusty spice.

Taste. Initial impression is an assertive but balanced tartness; the fruit character of the sorbe is prominent, offering flavors of crabapple and bitter-orange peel; very low hop bitterness; fermentation character is complex with a rustic, woody depth; finishes bone-dry and very clean.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with a crisp, effervescent carbonation; very low alcohol warmth; a mild tannic astringency from the fruit skins enhances the perception of dryness and structure.
