L'Autentica Cantine del Notaio 2020 - 50cl

"L'Autentica" from Cantine del Notaio is a charming, successful and harmonious raisin wine, which, like all the labels of this famous Vùlture reality, bears a name linked to the profession of the owner's father: notary Consalvo Giuratrabocchetti. It is made from two ancient aromatic grape varieties of Greek origin, which today are widespread in almost all countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea: Malvasia and Muscat. It is a wine that calls to mind the most ancient traditions and the desire to create a precious wine capable of honouring the glorious past of the land of Oenotria. The particular richness of the grapes, ripened in the generous sun of our south, give an extraordinary concentration of aromas, which makes the scents and aromas of the passito pleasantly intoxicating.

Cantine del Notaio's Passito "L'Autentica," was born from the desire to complete the company's range with a great dessert wine. Malvasia and Moscato's grapes are grown in different plots in the Vùlture area at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level. The soils are of volcanic matrix and insist on a substrate composed of tuffaceous rocks, capable of retaining moisture and allowing the vines to overcome even long periods of drought without suffering. Thanks to a dry and ventilated climate, the grapes are allowed to dry on the vine until the end of September and, after the harvest, on special racks in order to dehydrate and concentrate the sugars and aromatic components. Fermentation takes place directly in new barriques, and the wine matures for 12 months, again in barriques, before finishing ageing with at least another 12 months in the bottle.

"L'Autentica" wine is a speciality wine produced by Cantine del Notaio, which gives the pleasure of a great passito, very rich and endowed with great taste balance. To the eye, it has a warm golden-yellow hue with luminous amber highlights. The nose presents a broad and rich palette of aromas, with notes of candied citrus peel, almond, dried fruit, orange jam, dehydrated apricot, acacia honey and floral nuances. The palate is suave and soft, with a sip of dense and complex aromas, long and harmonious, stretching towards a very persistent finish, enlivened by good freshness. It is an ideal passito to be enjoyed with some small dry pastries, with almond paste desserts, cannoli and cassata or with a board of aged cheeses.
