Cascina degli Ulivi - italian organic wines in piedmont

A demû - monferrato bianco doc

After a long sun drying on straw mats the grapes are destemmed and fermentation starts. Skins are left with the juice for about a week then must is pressed and put in “exhausted” barrels where it slowly continues fermenting for another10 months. Fermentation naturally stops and the sugar residues leave a very pleasant aftertaste.

The wine is thus bottled in December, 13 months after harvest.
Elegant nose, with scents of flowers and resin. On the palate is sweet, aromatic, round and warm with honey, sultanas and dried figs finish.

Should be served at 8-10°C; well suited to dry patisserie, almond-paste sweets, but it can very well withstand being paired with aged cheeses.
