Since mid-September
Only the healthiest and most mature bunches, which are hand-picked in boxes, are left to dry on mats mounted "bunk" in dry and ventilated rooms until the spring following the harvest. Natural dehydration enriches the grape juice, which develops high percentages of alcohol; the dried grapes are then pressed and vinified according to tradition. The must ferments very slowly due to the high sugar content and low temperatures of the dedicated cellar where it is produced, the so-called “vinsantaia”, located in an environment that allows for high temperature variations between day and night.
It then refines in small oak barrels called “caratelli” for more than ten years before being extracted and bottled.
Deep amber color reminiscent of partridge, with intense shades
To be combined with dried fruit, dark chocolate or blue cheeses.
