Passri’ Scrapona Strevi DOC Passito 2018 - Marenco 0,375 lt.

VINE 100% Moscato Bianco.

ORIGIN Strevi, in Valle Bagnario, Vigneto Scrapona. Vineyard planted in 1996, using wood from the old vines here. The soil is predominantly marly, sandy, facing south-west.

VINIFICATION Drying of the grapes on racks in naturally ventilated areas in September-October. This is followed by soft pressing and sorting of the skins for maceration. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and lasts up to 6 months and is stopped without filtration due to the concentration of sugars and alcohol. The wine then matures in old wooden barrels for 2 years.

CHARACTERISTICS Intense golden yellow colour with amber hues. Intense aroma with notes of jam, candied citrus fruits and cooked apples enriched by sweet spices. Sweet with hints of fruit, even dried fruit and spices, in an elegant balance with a nice acidic and savoury vein.

PAIRINGS Suitable for important food and wine occasions. Good with foie gras, blue cheeses and even dry pastries.

STORAGE AND SERVING Keep the bottle lying down in a cool, dark place. Open and serve at 12° in small glasses for dessert and meditation wines. After opening, the passito remains good for several days. It is also suitable for ageing for many decades.
