Description
// Organic Garganega
"The grapes are picked by hand and dried naturally for approximately 5 months, this allows the grapes to dehydrate concentrate and develop noble rot. The grapes are gently pressed and the free-run juice is fermented in glass-lined concrete tanks. At the end of fermentation, the wine ages in 2500L acacia and french oak barrels for around two years, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging before the release. (Le Colombare is produced only in the best vintages.)
Rich and intense, it has an appealing balsamic note on the nose, opening to a complex bouquet of ripe, tropical fruit, apricots in syrup, candied lime-peel roasted almonds and quince. Spicy, ethnic-sounding, with notes of turmeric, saffron and ginger powder. Sweet notes of honey, beeswax and barley candy. Amber and aromatic woods. Warm, well-balanced, smooth and persistent. Surprisingly fresh-tasting and very elegant." - Pieropan
