Description
“I Capitelli” by Anselmi is a passito wine made from Garganega grapes, harvested when fully ripe and left to dry in well-ventilated rooms before starting the alcoholic fermentation in small oak barrels. During November bunches show evidence of ‘nobile botrytis’. In February, pressing takes place in pneumatic presses and the very sweet must ferments naturally in small oak barriques. At the end of fermentation, after two decantings, the fermented juices continue to age in the same barriques for about 16 months, and from one to three years in bottle before it is ready to drink.
Tasting Notes :
The Passito I Capitelli is like a delicious sweet, with a lightly mouth-coating and finely knitted palette of flavours that includes fruity notes of papaya, candied watermelon, preserved Meyer lemon and dried fig, with aromatic accents of tea rose, star anise and pickled ginger just above the dryness level. Luscious and juicy, with fresh acidity on the slightly roasted finish.
