ROSSO PASSITO 469

Classification: Aleatico IGP Toscana passito Variety: Aleatico
Colour: Ruby red of medium intensity, veering towards amber with ageing.
Bouquet: Fruity, intense, characteristic with hints of rose, cherry and notes of woodland undergrowth.
Palate: Velvety, creamy with well balanced sweetness and a wonderful lingering finish.
Pairing: Excellent as a meditation wine, ideal at the end of a meal with dry biscuit patisserie. If paired with strong cheeses, it reveals a whole new array of surprising notes to the palate.
Climate and terrain: The area is characterized by the vicinity of the sea, with constant intense ventilation and excellent temperature range that favour raisining.
Vinification: The grapes are raisined for approximately 20 days on the vine after cutting the shoot. Vinification follows delicate de-stemming, with maceration at 24ºC for 6/7 days.
Ageing: Fermentation follows in steel vats until the desired degree of alcohol has been reached. Matures “sur lies” for approximately 6 months.
