Winemaking

The grapes are hand-picked in small trays. The bunches are then hung to dry for at least three months. They are then pressed, and the must is fermented and aged in contact with oxygen in small oak and chestnut barrels (25l and 50l) called caratelli for at least five years.

Aging

Five years in small oak and chestnut barrels that hold 25 litres and 50 litres.

In the glass

An amber coloured dessert wine with aromas of honey, hazelnuts, dried figs, and apricots. The wine is sweet with a nicely retained acidity for a balanced complexity.

Combined with food

A wine that goes well with desserts such as vanilla ice cream with warm cloudberries and the typical Tuscan almond biscuits, cantuccini. The wine is also perfect with a piece of blue cheese.
