Passito wine from Muscat DOC grapes
D.O.C. - Denomination of Controlled Origin
Aged in barriques
White raisin wine made with the best muscat grapes of a small area of the municipality of Loazzolo.
The late harvest of the bunches is carried out by means of several sortings, then the grapes wither on particular racks in cool and ventilated rooms.
The slow fermentation takes place in barriques where it ages for years and acquires the typical toasted and vanilla aroma.
Wine elegant and refined, with its unique taste "sweet not sweet".
It goes beautifully with the Fois Grasa mature and strong cheeses and fine pastry.
Excellent sipping wine.
Serve at 15 ° C for one hour after opening the bottle.
