Description

The most striking aspect of our Passito is its brilliant amber colour. The Passito Riserva matures for 5 years in oak Caratelli. In these small barrels (with a maximum capacity of 100 litres), the fresh must is sealed with wax lacquer without any additions and left to rest for 5 long years. After this period, the opening of the caratelli is an unmissable event here on the farm.
Once the wax lacquer sealing the keg cap is removed, an intense perfume is immediately perceived… Each keg produces a slightly different product, which is surprising. This variation is caused by the temperature changes that occur in the caratello, which, following Tuscan tradition, is located in the attic of the winery. Our Vinsantaia is well ventilated with numerous windows that allow for excellent air circulation and continuous temperature variations throughout the year. These changes allow the must inside the kegs to undergo discontinuous fermentation, i.e. fermentation that stops when it is cold and resumes when it is warm, until it reaches the right amount of alcohol to interrupt the activity of the yeasts.
Another aspect that makes our Passito so special is that for every 100 litres of must at the end of the vinification process you get a maximum of 30 litres!!! It is presented in an elegant cardboard package that enhances its contents!
It is ideal to pair with Cantucci (Biskotti) and/or dry pastries in general.
