The vines grow at 70 metres altitude on deep, sandy, volcanic and mineral-rich soils on terraces facing the sea. The grapes are hand-harvested, dried on racks in the sun for around 15 days and pressed directly using a pneumatic press. The must is settled statically and ferments slowly in oak casks until fermentation naturally comes to a halt. After at least 18 months of bottle ageing, the sweet Passito shows aromas of ripe apricot, fig, elderflower and raisin. Sweetness and lively acidity are well balanced, making the wine seem fresh rather than heavy.
