Cinqueterre Sciacchetrà Doc 2021 Demi 0.375L - The Polenza

Description

The Cinqueterre Sciacchetrà Doc of La Polenza is a perfect representative for its category, it comes from Vermentino , Bosco and Albarola grapes, we are talking about a passito wine that tells a distant story, in fact the company has been operating in Corniglia for years and has continued to respect the traditions.

The drying of the grapes takes place in the open air facing the sea before being destemmed by hand and then pressed, this process serves to enhance the indisputable qualities it brings to the glass.

On the nose it presents nuances of candied apricot and citron, while on the palate we find the sensual structure and very fine tannins that intertwine with the fullness of flavor towards a finish of pure satisfaction.

The success of this Sciacchetrà does not derive only from its history but from its qualities that arise in a land where every grape costs effort.

The meticulous choice , the wait and the hard work to obtain high quality bottles with many beautiful surprises waiting for you!
