Sweet Wines

Picolit DOCG is a passito white wine produced by the Perusini Agricultural Company, located in Corno di Rosazzo in the province of Udine, on the Eastern Friulian hills. The grape that gives rise to this wine is 100% Picolit harvested late.

Kott remains a perfectly balanced wine between sweetness and acidity, capable of pairing with the most varied sweet dishes or simply being tasted at the end of dinner.

Obtained from Vernaccia Nera grapes, with the production area at an altitude comparable to mountain wines where drying with hanging bunches is expected, at the end of which the must is left to ferment and refine in barriques for at least three years.

This ancient vine is the pride and joy of Friuli, the grapes are harvested manually and differentiated according to maturation with twice-weekly passages and takes place throughout the month of October. For the vinification of this wine, 10% of the harvested grapes are vinified in the classic way, soft pressing, settling and controlled fermentation. The remaining 90% of the grapes are left to dry for over a month, losing about 40% of the weight. The highly concentrated must obtained is fermented in small oak barrels, where it remains until the summer. Then the two wines are blended and aged for another 4 months in steel barrels. The refinement takes 6-8 months in the bottle.

“Sweet as a moonlit night full. Of soft and warm hugs I crackled. To then get lost in thoughts and words between meditation and frivolity starting from one ne for a new one start."

A unique wine, with a bright cherry pink colour, aromatic, typical for the scents of fresh flowers and roses, for a light musky sensation and intense hints of red fruit. Sweet, lively, fresh, pleasantly acidulous, it explodes on the aftertaste with the same fruity notes perceived on the nose which suggest the combination with berries, desserts and strawberry parfait, jam tarts and sweets in general.

The warm rays of this magnificent 2015 summer have allowed us to produce again a warm jewel: the "Sole d'Autunno", our organic Chardonnay passito. Already in the post in which I told you about the Cronistoria Della Biovendemmia 2015 I anticipated the return of this extraordinary sweet wine. But let's try to find out more about this nectar produced by Maso Martis organic farm on the hills of Trento only in a few exceptional years! Also in this case the rule applies that the quality of great wines does not start in the cellar, but first of all in the countryside... in fact, only with the presence of favorable conditions that guarantee an exceptional wine, does the production of the "Autumn Sun" begin ”. The grapes harvested with gradual maturation are carefully selected. Only the best and perfect bunches are placed in small crates and left to dry in a cool, well-ventilated room for a few months.

Moscato Rosa is a native Trentino vine, its bunch is very loose and has a very low yield. We produce between eight hundred and a thousand bottles a year and the last harvest was truly amazing!

Not only albana, in our heart passito: everything played on elegance, balance and smoothness.

Sweet version (attention, not passito) of our albana. Not cloying, he prefers non-milk-based desserts, but it's also delicious on its own, maybe a fresh hair!

That is, as many would say that you should NOT write a wine technical sheet. But that's how I wrote it, straight off, drinking Albamarina side B, telling what is really important in wine: emotion. Have you tried Albamarina 2012 yet? Well done, it's a good wine, I'm sure you liked it. Now the "B side" comes out. Side B are 10 hectoliters of Catarratto passito 2012 that I had decided to throw away. As I always do when I do something new and my mom disagrees (basically ALL of the time), I said to her: Mom, what do you care? If it doesn't turn out good, we throw it away – or sell it in bulk. She is not very convinced, but after a few days of discussions she finally lets me do it (thanks mom). So: I left 15 hectoliters (yes, 15, then I'll explain) of passito in overfilled barrels, hoping for the fioretta to come, for another 18 months. INCREDIBLY, this wine, despite having been sulphited (and don't ask me how it's possible, because I don't know either) continued to ferment very slowly for another 18 months, until from the initial 13.5 it reached an alcohol content of 15% vol – a little more actually, but we don't tell anyone, okay? At some point it FINALLY came out good. But no normal good, just good. So: the B side. I took 10 hectoliters and bottled it (which is what you can now find on #vgm) and kept the other 5 in strictly full barrels to make a perpetual one. Which, when it's good, is the best thing in the world of wine. PERPETUAL IS WINE - if you don't believe it, call De Bartoli. But the perpetual, if it turns out good, we'll talk about it in 5/6 years. For the moment there is the B side.

Wine with a bright golden yellow color, a distinctly aromatic bouquet with hints of rose. Sweet, persistent, delicate, pleasant and velvety flavour.
