Tenuta Necta Malvasia di Casorzo Passito

Nectar is Tenuta Montemagno’s Malvasia di Casorzo Passito, a sweet red from one of Piedmont’s oldest native aromatic grapes. A few clusters per vine are dried naturally, either on the plant by twisting the stem or on rush mats in the cellar, before a cold pre-fermentation maceration and a slow 12-month fermentation in small, second-fill oak barrels. Deep pink with purple highlights, it is aromatic and balsamic, with wild strawberry and red-fruit preserve, and a sweet, full, harmonious palate of great structure with ripe fruit and blueberry syrup balanced by fresh acidity.
