Fascinating union between the Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Traminer, Sémillon and Riesling grapes and the unique terroir of Castello della Sala. The clusters, touched by the morning mists and favored by the particular microclimate, indulge in the Noble Mold, Botrytis Cinerea, which reduces the water content, concentrating the sugars and giving the Muffato its characteristic aromas.
- Characteristics : Muffato della Sala 2016 has a bright and intense golden yellow color. The nose is deep and complex, with citrus scents combined with delicate notes of peach, dehydrated apricot and saffron. On the palate it is enveloping, sweet but not too much, slightly iodized, with a very long persistence. He is balanced even in his youth; a wine destined to evolve over time by increasing its aromatic complexity.
- Method : The grapes come from the Castello della Sala vineyards, located between 200 and 450 meters above sea level. on clayey soils, rich in marine fossils. The grapes were harvested manually by returning to the same vineyard several times in relation to the state of the grapes. After being transferred to the cellar, the grapes were further selected on a sorting belt. This was followed by a light pressing without destemming. After pressing, the must fermented for 18 days at a temperature of about 17 C. The wine obtained, still sweet, was transferred to French oak barrels (Alliers & Tronçais) where it matured for about 6 months before continuing the refinement in steel for a further 2 years..
