Avignonesi Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo di Montepulciano DOC 375 ㎖

Occhio di Pernice di Avignonesi, is produced from the best Sangiovese grapes harvested from its own vineyards located in the municipality of Valiano di Montepulciano, in the province of Siena. The grapes, Sangiovese in purity, are harvested from vineyards that dwell on clayey, sandy and silty soil of Pliocene origin, at 300 meters above sea level. Once the harvest is done, the bunches are left to dry for a few months on the mats inside the drying rack. The wine obtained ages for up to 10 years in oak barrels with a size of 50 liters. One of the secrets of this great red passito is the indigenous yeast used, selected by the Avignonesi family a hundred years ago. Its amber color enhances it already at the sight. Its scent is attractive and reminiscent of dates, dried figs, sweet spices and candied citrus fruits. In the mouth it confirms the olfactory profile and supports it with a tangible creaminess, refined by a very fine balance with the fresh component. It has an almost unlimited persistence. Perfect to accompany all the traditional Tuscan desserts, but it is also splendid in solitude.
