2018 Contra Soarda Sarson Breganze Torcolato Passito Riserva Bianco DOC 500ml

From the Winery:
Torcolato, the quintessential passito made from Vespaiola grapes, is the most typical wine of the Breganze denomination. Thanks to the extraordinary characteristics of Vespaiola, naturally rich in acidity and sugars, it is ideally suited for the drying process.

For our Sarson, after a careful selection, the grapes are allowed to wither naturally for 6 months, uniquely concentrating their flavors and aromas. The withered grapes are then gently pressed with the minimum pressure possible to extract a precious, golden nectar, which undergoes spontaneous fermentation in French oak barriques for an extended period. The fermentation, slowed by the high sugar content, occurs very gradually, allowing for the development of extraordinary complexity.

On the nose, Torcolato surprises with aromas of oven-baked apricots delicately drizzled with warm acacia honey and accompanied by hints of toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be rich and enveloping: nuances of candied ginger, dried peach, and sweet spices emerge, all harmonized by a lively acidity that imparts a structured and persistent finish. A layered and seductive wine, delightful from the very start yet destined to continue enchanting and evolving over time.
