MaculanVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

A passito-style dessert wine from Vicenza revived by Fausto Maculan in 1974. Vespaiola grapes are harvested late and dried on twisted cords (torcolato means 'twisted') for months before pressing. The result is a wine of high intensity, with botrytis-influenced apricot honey character balanced by the grape's naturally high acidity.

I Capitelli is Anselmi's late-harvest sweet Garganega, made from overripe and botrytised bunches from the Capitel Croce and Capitel Foscarino hills; rich, honeyed and apricot-dominated but lifted by the grape's natural acidity that keeps it from cloying.
