Tasting note
Full, sweet dessert wine from Italy, aromatic with dried fruit and nuts, the palate a honeyed concoction of figs, almonds and honey.
Viticulture
The production area is located within the small, hilly area in the municipality of Cerreto Guidi and a limited number of surrounding municipalities. The wine is made from 100% Trebbiano grapes, sourced from Cantine Leonardo's growers.
Vinification
Grapes handpicked, dried till February. Pressed must moved to oak 'caratelli' for 4-year slow fermentation. Cellar's extreme temperature changes add complexity, acidity to final wine
Food Match
Almond flavours within the wine mean it pairs excellently with nutty desserts; think pecan pie, walnut tart or an Italian-style chestnut cake.
