Pignoletto
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✭

The wine has a amber yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The olfactory profile is rich and intense, mainly oriented to candied and dried fruit. There can be perceived good aromas of dried apricot, candied fruit, peach jam, almond, hazelnut, walnut, pastry, citrus fruit peel, raisin and grape macerated in alcohol. In the mouth the wine denotes a good roundness, followed by good alcohol as well as good correspondence to the nose. The finish is pretty persistent with evident flavors of peach jam and dried apricot. Grapes used for the production of this wine are dried until February and the must is fermented in steel tanks. The wine is subsequently aged for 6 months in barrique and 6 more months in bottle.
