Description
Why we love it
An explosion of fruit, sweet but not cloying on the palate, and a long, beguiling finish – what’s not to love in this elegant dessert wine?
Tasting notes
Ruby red in colour. An intense nose bursting with red fruits and aromatic herbs. On the palate, succulent and well balanced. Marked sweetness, but never cloying due to the crisp acidity, making for easy drinking and a long, satisfying finish.
Food pairing
Enjoy with cheeses, cakes (especially chocolate cake), short-crust pastries, biscuits or fruit (strawberries or tropical fruit).
Additional information
Manual harvest of selected bunches was carried out in the second half of September, followed by the appassimento drying process, which involved the grapes being left for four months in a humidity-controlled drying loft, where they lost about 50% of their original weight.
Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks. The wine was then aged for five months in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, for 15 months in oak (half in large Slavonian oak barrels, half in second-use barriques), and then six months in bottle.
Serve at 14°C.
