Description

Product information "PASITHEA ORO Gewürztraminer"



Growing area

The grapes for the production of this unique sweet wine come from a single vineyard in Oltradige. The specific characteristics of the vineyard contribute to the development of noble rot (“Botrytis Cinerea”), which provides the basis for a great sweet wine.

Winemaking

The harvest takes place in december. The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. After a short period of maceration, gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrique for 6 months, and the aging takes another 6 months.

Tasting notes & food matching

The aroma of dried fruits, ripe apricots and quince are behind the symphony of scent nuances that is completed with a fresh touch of citrus fruit. To the palate, this wine is soft, full and has an accentuated sweetness that persists in the after-taste. The late harvested Pasithea Oro is a dessert wine to accompany cakes, but it also goes well with herby, matured and spicy cheeses. A totally unique pleasure.

PASITHEA ROSA Moscato Rosa
PASITHEA ROSA Moscato Rosa

Growing area Moscato Rosa is grown on the hillside vineyards of Girlan at an altitude ranging from 400 to 500 m above sea level in well aired vineyards. The soil is rich in minerals, the result of ice age sedimentation. Winemaking The grapes for this unique wine are harvested by hand at the end of october. The grapes are placed in small crates, in which they are left to dry (“appassimento”) and their natural concentration of sugars increases. Mid-January after 2 weeks of maceration on skins the grapes are pressed. The final fermentation that follows is very slow; the high sugar content means it ends spontaneously. Aging for 10 months in barriques, and further 6 months of maturation in the bottle. Tasting notes & food matching  The bouquet is a mix of roses, ripe woodland strawberries, red currants and a spicy note of cinnamon. The flavour is soft, with light tannins, a sweet fullness in the mouth and a persistent after-note. A good match when served with fruit desserts and cakes.

FLORA Sauvignon
FLORA Sauvignon

Growing area The grapes for this wine are carefully selected, all from the gentle hills of Oltradige, at an altitude of 450 - 530 m a.s.l. The vineyards are partly facing west and partly east. Characteristic here are the morain soils with volcanic porphyry rock and a high stone content, which in combination with the elevated altitudes result in a unique wine. Winemaking The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for 8 months on the fine lees, partially in stainless steel tanks and partially in small oak barrels, without malolatic fermentation.
