Fabrizio makes this wine from overripe arneis grapes, which he leaves to dry in crates. Once ready, he presses them following the typical white wine-making process.
The temperatures are cold because all this happens at the end of December, so the sugars have difficulty transforming into alcohol, so they do not ferment and remain in the wine.
Despite its pronounced sweetness, it is not at all cloying in the mouth and hints of saline notes.
This passito highlights the fruitier aromas of arneis, and here apricot, dried fig and walnut make their way in.
Sight
It is amber-coloured honey.
Nose
The bouquet is very intense and persistent with hints of honey and apricot, final notes of chamomile.
Taste
In the mouth the wine is savoury, well structured and harmonious.
Pairing tips
The sweetness of this wine contrasts with a combination on the salty or bitter side.
It goes without saying that dry pastries are always a passe-partout, but to really surprise yourself, accompany it with a blue-veined or medium-aged cheese. Alternatively, a piece of extra dark chocolate will be perfect.
It’s your guy if…
…You want to uncork a wine after dinner that you don’t have to accompany your food.
