Ricci Curbastro Brolo dei Passoni Chardonnay Passito 0.5L 2013
Everything about this dessert wine is reminiscent of the ancient winemaking traditions of the Ricci Curbastro family, starting with its name. 'Brolo' is a medieval word that indicates the vineyard and orchard of the house, the most preciously guarded, sheltered by those stone walls that characterise the winery's Franciacorta. The name 'Passioni' recalls, and is still present as a toponym on the maps of the Military Geographical Institute, that Antonio Passoni, the company's founder, who around 1860 built the villa that still stands today in the centre of the Brolo and vast park. Even the label is inspired by Antonio Passoni, reworked from those, still preserved today, with which in 1880 he 'signed' the bottles produced from his vineyards, probably for family consumption.

Colour

Deep gold yellow.

Bouquet

Fine, elegant, complex, with good persistence, a slight hint of vanilla, and very soft, fruity notes.

Flavour

Full, tasty, roundness underlined by glycerine and extract (net dry extract of 25.5 g/l), sweet but not syrupy.

Pairing

It pairs well with fruit or almond desserts, fresh flavoured or blue cheeses, such as the Gorgonzola, and foie gras.

Origin Capriolo (Brescia).
Vinification When perfectly ripe, the Chardonnay is harvested and placed in crates to undergo natural drying. This ancient tradition had practically disappeared in the Franciacorta area but is amply documented by oral tradition and Vincenzo Dandolo's (1758-1819) work 'Dell'arte di fare, conservare e migliorare i vini del Regno ... '. During the drying process, the grapes also undergo a slight attack of Botrytis cinerea or noble rot, which, with its metabolising action on the skin, provides the wine with exceptional aromas.
Ageing Between the end of November and December, the grapes are softly pressed and the must obtained is fermented in French oak barrels. It remains in the wood for about a year before bottling, followed by a further year of ageing.
