Description
Sweet white passito Orvieto DOC, 11% ABV, produced by Palazzone, 2024 vintage. A wine made from a late harvest of Grechetto, Malvasia, Sauvignon, and Trebbiano grapes, a tribute to Umbrian tradition. In 1969, the Dubini family purchased the "Palazzone," built by Cardinal Teodorico at the behest of Pope Boniface VIII as a hostel for pilgrims heading to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee of 1300 AD. Soft pressing of whole grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel. Aromas of dried fruit blend with honey on the nose. Bright golden yellow color. Full-bodied and complex on the palate, with a light acidity that supports an intense, sweet, and rich finish.

On the sedimentary and clay soil, with an exciting view of Orvieto's cliff, they plant 24 hectares of vineyards to produce wines of great complexity and character.
Starting in the 1980s, under the guidance of his son Giovanni, Palazzone began a journey made up of small vinifications and bottlings, experiences necessary to arrive in 1988 at the winery's construction. Thus was born one of the most significant wineries in all of Umbria, now in its third generation with grandson Pietro. Read more
