The Story
Sweet white passito from Tuscany, 14% ABV, produced by Ornellaia. 0.375 l bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine born from the passion and dedication of Ornellaia, an icon of Italian winemaking. The harvest took place in the second half of October in three passes, striving at each pass to gather only the sweetest and most concentrated portions of the bunch. Vinification with fermentation in 100% new oak barriques at temperatures no higher than 22°C. Aged for 12 months in barriques, followed by a further year in bottle. A nose of great complexity where highly ripe notes of exotic fruit, peach jam, and honey are balanced by fresher notes of lemon and grapefruit. Deep golden color. On the palate, it is very rich, sweet, and ample with great fruit intensity. The rich sugar content is perfectly balanced by a lively acidity, concluding with a long and savory finish.
