COLLI EUGANEI DOCG
FIOR D’ARANCIO
Passito
Our Passito catches the rays of sunlight in the late afternoon when the colours are warmer and introduce the evening. The vine variety is Muscat yellow. We harvest the grapes by hand and place them in small drawers where they remain undisturbed until December. The sweetness and the thousand essences of Muscat melt into a precious nectar. Our Passito reposes patiently for at least two years in 5 hectolitre oak barrels. Here the fresh citrus aroma begins to assume its aristocratic tones.
It can be suggested, at 12° C, for pastries, aged piquant cheese, goose liver pâtè. Excellent also as a “meditation wine”.
