Tasting notes
A classic bright golden-yellow colour. An intense and particularly complex nose, discovering new aromas upon every foray into the glass. Citrus notes of orange peel accompany the typical aromas of dried apricot and amaretto. Slight notes of cinnamon and vanilla complete the bouquet. When tasted, the wine shows a great balance between sweetness and acidity, with a vibrant and persistent finish lacking any heaviness.
Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery, each lot is pressed and fermented separately. After lengthy, gentle pressing and natural decanting over one night, the various lots are fermented in 100% new oak barriques at temperatures of no more than 22°C. Upon reaching the desired sugar and alcohol levels, the fermentation is stopped. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. Residual sugars: 113 g/l.
Ageing
12 month in barrique, after which the various lots are blended. After bottling, the wine is aged for additional 12 months prior to release.
Food pairing
Pair with exquisite desserts.
