A great specialty from the Valtellina, this "sublime wine" is the ultimate expression of the typical tastes and flavours of Valtellina wine. Carefully selected grapes are collected in crates and left to dry in a well-ventilated room, the “fruttaio”, all autumn long. Then, after two/three months of raisining, the grapes are finally ready for pressing in January. The resulting wine is full-bodied, rich in aromas and anthocyanin pigments, with plenty of soft and mellow tannins. Its generous bouquet has notes of toasted almonds and a pleasing raisin flavour on the palate.
