陈年 |
Antico Gregori is crafted only in outstanding Vernaccia vintages. For some years the original base wine from the 1976 vintage was topped up with fractions of later vintages of the same wine, so as to revive the Flor yeast by a solera-like winemaking process; following an extended oxidative ageing period, the wine was then blended with tiny amounts of very old Vernaccias, whose original base wine dates back to the first decades of the 20th century. |
匹配 |
This wine pairs extremely well with bottarga specialties. We also love it with bottarga flavoured sheep milk cheese and spicy fig jam. Enjoy as a big meditative wine or as one for conversation. |
