Made from very ripe Paolomini grapes and fermented at a very high, controlled temperature in stainless steel with complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is then fortified with neutral-flavored wine spirits and matured in full barrels using the Solera method under flor. A very pale straw color and an aroma with alternating notes of chamomile, almond and a hint of graphite on a background of bread dough. The attack of the mouthfeel is flat and horizontal, very subtle and very dry and on the palate becomes thin, warm and dusty with notes of dried fruit followed by a saline, slightly bitter finish. The aftertaste is decidedly umami with notes of almond, salted anchovy and fresh mushrooms.
