Light yellow to sandy-coloured in appearance, with an unobtrusive bouquet, and hints of apricots, lemon and acacia flowers.
The sugary part is determined by the fact that the grapes that make it up have been harvested overripe.
The strong harmonious structure emphasizes its full bodied sweetish taste and round finish.
This white wine makes a good companion to all sorts of appetizers and fressh cheeses like Tuscan Pecorino, flowered rind cheese, Camambert,Brie, Tomme de Savoie, Scimudin, Taleggio, Goat cheese, as well as asparagus dishes, shrimps, lobsters, oysters, mulltes, cured goose ham, pork meatloaf with chestnuts.
It was produced for the first time in 2013 after a hot summer that made the Pinot Grigio grapes ripen well before the norm.
This created fermentation arrest problems due to the excessive sugar component of the grapes.
So it was that the wine obtained was both very alcoholic and slightly sweet, characteristics that were not initially considered positive by our wine makers.
Instead, as a result of tastings made with several American visitors, these wines quickly became very popular, thus subverting our expectations. And so, since 2013, this wine is no longer a dry white wine, but a lovable sweetish white wine.
If you like a dry white wine we suggest to try our chardonnay
It is availaible in boxes of 12 bottles or 6 bottles.
It is available both in Bordeaux bottles and in Renane bottles.
It warmly suggest to drink it in the first 3 years, after the grape harvest.
It is advisable to keep the bottle lying down. Part of the residual sugar could be deposited in the bottom of the bottle, therefore they always advise shaking the bottle two and three times before drinking the wine. This phenomenon must be considered absolutely natural.
