BOUQUET The nose offers a great olfactory complexity with aromas ranging from ripe fruit, honey, resin, up to iodized and mineral hints.

PAIRINGS Ideal as a meditation wine and as an accompaniment to blue cheeses, or with dry pastries.

TASTE In the mouth, freshness and sweetness combine perfectly, giving a wine of great harmony, which also confirms what is already felt on the nose in a finish of great persistence.

NOTES The botrytized wines, or sweet wines obtained from botrytised grapes, are an oenological pride of the Orvieto area, so much so that the noble rot typology is foreseen in the DOC disciplinary. The Late Harvest by virtue of the unique microclimate of Lake Corbara characterized by significant temperature variations and the alternation between dry and humid, with the consequent morning fogs offers Botrytis Cinerea the ideal conditions to develop as noble rot. The grapes from the vineyards closest to the lake are gradually covered by the fungus, which thins the skin, concentrating and enriching the aromatic complexity.

AGING Refinement of the wine on the fine lees for 5-6 months, in order to enrich its organoleptic characteristics.
