Il
Passito

Il Passito - 0,375 lt

Typology: IGT – bottles 0.375 lt

Grape varieties: old autochthonous tuscan varieties of trebbiano (40%), canaiolo (30%), san colombano (20%), crepolino (10%).

Cultivation system: Guyot

Withering: it is withered from october to december and the grapes are hanging from the ceiling, so the grapes gradually desiccate over the winter.

Vinification: ungrafted vine, natural fermentation in oak wood

Storage:  24-36 months in french oak wood of small capacity named “caratelli” (from 50 to 100 lt, typical of the region). Once fermentation is over, the wine is left to age in small (50 to 100 lt, typical of the region) wooden barrels called caratelli (24-36 months). These “caratelli” are completely sealed, they could not be topped up to compensate for oxidation.

Bottle maturity: not less than 1 year

Alcohol degrees: 18,00° (depending on the year)

Color, odor, flavor: although the passito is generally classed as a dessert wine, its sweetness levels vary. It is an almost completely dry (secco), made from grapes which have not been left to desiccate so completely; they undergo a more rigorous fermentation until almost all of the sugars have been converted to alcohol. Our passito could be considered in the amber-hued straw wines; it resembles a dry fortified wine, such as sherry and have the nutty aroma of sweet, baked earth.

It is offered as a welcoming drink to house guests, and is often consumed with almond-scented amaretti or knobbly cantucci biscuits. Sometimes, depending on the year of production, it results so dry to be offered with consommé or appetizers
