A medium-bodied desert wine with good length. Intense amber color with an aroma of dried fruit and traces of honey and a sweet velvety taste.

Produced in the heart of Tuscany, it hails from the hilly areas between Florence and Vinci. Hilly soils consisting mainly of arenaceous, calcareous-marly substrates, clay schists, and sand with the presence of bones (pebbles or marl stones).

The grapes accurately selected are dried over mats in special rooms monitored to allow the grapes to reach a sugar content of no less than 26%. After December 1st, the grapes are destemmed and pressed.

The must so obtained is placed in wood tanks with a capacity not exceeding 5 hectoliters, also known as “caratelli” where slow fermentation and aging begin to bestow the final elegant and unique aroma that makes this wine so famous.

Food Pairing: Dry confectionery, Cantucci, and soft desserts.
