Palazzone Musco 2018
From a very small vineyard planted promiscuously with Trebbiano, Verdello and Malvasia grapes mixed in the rows according to the traditions of this area, 'Musco' is born. Produced with ancient tools and equipment in a tuff cave dug under a chestnut wood, without the use of electricity, it ages in chestnut barrels and is first refined in demijohns and then in bottles for several months. Bottling is also done manually. A wine obtained 'by the desire of those who with awareness, knowledge and ancient tools want to keep the memory of a timeless history alive'.

Colour

Bright, deep gold.

Bouquet

Enveloping and complex of ripe yellow fruit, almonds, candied citrus peel and dried citrus fruit. Chestnut honey and notes of aromatic herbs give the wine freshness during tasting.

Flavour

The palate is structured, and although silky and soft, it has a sour and slightly tangy trail well integrated, making it a balanced wine. Persistent taste with a slightly bitter closing.

Pairing

Simple and elaborate dishes from traditional Umbrian cuisine, such as chickpea and grass pea puree, pasta with mushroom, truffle and white meat dishes or dishes of a more intense taste as marinated anchovies, cod, and lamb cutlets.

From this winery:
