Terre di Serrapetrona, Sommo, 2012 - 50cl

At the foot of the Sibillini Mountains National Park, the Terre di Serrapetrona agricultural estate extends for 66 hectares, of which about 20 are dedicated to viticulture.
The pleasure of discovering something unexpectedly pleasant: this is the Vernaccia Nera. A variety with good vigor and medium-large leaves, winged and tight bunches, small black-purple berries, average peel and soft pulp with a slightly aromatic taste. A variety that, thanks to its microclimate, develops exceptional organoleptic characteristics.

"Vino passito" of great character, it is the result of meticolous work in both the vineyard and the cellar. The long drying period of the grapes, coupled with an emphasis on quality control, makes the "appassimento" a peculiar step in the making of this wine.

"Sees 2-3 months ageing in small french oak and also chestnut barrels.
Some tamarind, and hoisin spice notes, on the palate is are bright and dried red fruits and lovely spicy sweetness." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
