Aprašymas

The grapes have been hand-picked from the best vineyard parcels and placed in small, vine leaf-coated bins. The grapes are laid out for a few months on straw mats in the “appassitoio” (drying room). They are then softly pressed and the must is transferred in “caratelli” (50-liter oak casks) for a slow, natural fermentation with the aid of an indigenous yeast known as “madre”. Deep amber colour, thick like molasses with tremendous depth and fierceness. The bouquet is intensely smoky with notes of raisins, dried figs and candied red fruit. Immensely rich, layered with an incredibly long aftertaste. To be enjoyed on its own in large glasses.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 14-16 °C with desserts

Loads of mineral character on the nose and palate, with hints of prune and mahogany. Full-bodied and very thick, with a long, lively, salty mineral finish. Another syrupy, big and sweet Vin Santo. Drink now. 80 cases made.

Named after the original founders of the estate, the Avignonesi family, the winery has undergone an exciting journey since it was first established. Acquired by Virginie Saverys in 2009, Avignonesi has grown in size and at the same time has become a leader in biodynamic viticulture in Italy. Since the acquisition and thanks to Virginie’s respect for the ecosystem, her staff and the final consumer, the winery has started producing and crafting organic wines that are truly authentic to their origins yet singular and unique. And in the best biodynamic approach of their wines receive minimal intervention in the cellar! Sustainability also plays a big part in the everyday life at Avignonesi.
