Pensiero d'Amore Passito 2018 - Az.Agr Ornella Bellia Terre Piane

wine description

They are clusters with a thick and consistent skin, high alcoholic potential and sustained acidity, which we know can give interesting and unprecedented nuances in the passita version. The grapes, harvested by hand after a perfect ripening on the plant, are placed in wooden boxes of 7-8 kg each; subsequently they stop until November in a cool and airy place where, thanks to the drying technique, they lose about 30% of their initial weight, with consequent concentration of sugars and all aromas. This is followed in December by the pressing and soft pressing of the dried grapes, the static decantation of the must and the alcoholic fermentation which, failing to complete completely, leaves a high sugar residue.
