Condolcezza

The grapes come from the vineyards around Desenzano del Garda on the southern shore of Lake Garda; the region is described as having calcareous clay soils. The grapes are harvested by hand into crates, then dried for an extended period in the loft or on the vine. Slow fermentation at low temperature takes place with indigenous yeasts, partly in barriques. In the glass, it is a golden, viscous sweet wine with aromas of ripe peach, pineapple, candied fruit, jam and vanilla. The sweetness remains balanced by its fresh structure and good aromatic persistence.
