Grignano's interpretation of one of Tuscany's iconic wine-making products is outstanding. Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca Lunga grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of 300 metres. Selection in the vineyard during harvest is meticulous. During drying, the grapes are hung in ventilated rooms for around three months. Afterwards, pressing takes place and the must is put into typical oak barrels, where alcoholic fermentation takes place. After five years of ageing, the wine is released on to the market.
In the glass, the sweet wine shows an intense, limpid amber colour, the nose is of great complexity, built on dried apricot and a notable hint of dried fruit. The palate is full and firmly structured, where the sweetness is superbly supported by an acidity that leads to a pleasantly persistent finish.
A bottle to open at the end of dinner, to be successfully paired with a plate of mature cheeses.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 10–12°C.
