Other curiosities
A limited production wine, from small lots of local grapes, that reflects the distinctive terroir of the Cavazza family’s estate, and highlights the craftsmanship involved in our winemaking. Only the best handpicked grapes from favorable years are chosen to be dried naturally, then handsqueezed and bottled to become this unique raisin wine.
Intense golden yellow color. Extraordinary fresh and concentrated with aromas of sweet almonds, apricot jam and pear honey with notes of caramel supported by a mineral background. Velvety smooth on the palate, the taste is warm and balanced, with just the right degree of acidity.
