Description
A late-harvest sweet white passito from Sardinia, 14% ABV, 100% Nasco, produced by Santadi. 0.375 L bottle, 2019 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a group of producers from Sulcis, a unique area for the production of passito wines. The Nasco grapes are hand-picked from a late-harvest harvest. The sugar-rich must, after separation from the skins, is fermented in stainless steel tanks. It continues to evolve for several months in third-use French oak barriques. An intense bouquet of honey, caramel, vanilla sugar, and cloves. Amber color accompanied by great consistency. Persistent and balanced, with a sweetness that is never cloying and a finish reminiscent of orange blossom.
