Passito del Conte

This wine wants to remember the value of history and tradition, in fact the ‘passito’ technique is traditional in the area of Gambellara DOC. The label represents the Count Luigi Da Porto, which we wanted to stylize, just to remember how culture today is often abandoned or taken for granted. The wine, therefore, wants to be a way to remind that tradition or history are not things that anchor us to the past, but that help us to embark on our future with awareness.

WINEMAKING

The grape is picked up by hand (choosing the best bunches) and let wither for about 5 months in the barn. It is cold pressed with a 2-bar pressure to take out the best from fragrances and, if weather is cold, the grape ferments slowly. Once fermentation is finished, the product is let improve in the barrique for a short time, then it is bottled after a further period in glass containers.

TASTING NOTES

Golden straw-yellow colour. Fragrance of ripe fruit, raisins, figs and a balanced aftertaste of almond.
