A luxurious Tuscan dessert wine, golden amber in color with rich dried fruit and honeyed sweetness, beautifully balanced by lingering acidity and elegant oxidative character.

Profile:

Appearance: Straw-yellow tending toward golden amber.

Nose: Ethereal bouquet of honey, raisins, dried apricot, baking spices, and hints of toasted almond.

Palate: Lusciously sweet, showing toffee, dried figs, and candied fruit — yet supported by balancing acidity and a velvety texture.

Finish: Harmonious, with a gentle sweetness and lingering notes of dried fruit and spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with almond cookies, aged Pecorino, roasted nuts, and rich fruit desserts like tarts and panforte.

What’s In It: 50% Malvasia, 50% Trebbiano

How It Was Made:

Grapes (typically Malvasia and Trebbiano) are handpicked about 15 days before full ripening, then dried (“appassimento”) on straw mats to concentrate sugars. After about three months of drying, they are pressed and fermented, then aged for approximately three years in small oak barrels (known as caratelli del Chianti) during which the wine rests on its lees (“madre”).
