The Colonna Umbria White Passito IGT - Cantina del Colonna
The flagship of our production, respecting the ancient peasant traditions. Passito Umbria I.G.T. typically called "Vino Santo da Uve Affumicate dell'Alta Valle del Tevere" (Slow Food Presidium) it is obtained from the processing of only white grapes selected by hand from among the best bunches of the vineyard. The drying process of the grapes takes place in ancient rooms, for about 5 months, where the individual bunches are hung with string loops in special wooden "moraletti".
Once the right drying has been reached, the grapes undergo a further selection process by hand before pressing.
The must obtained is kept in oak barrels for at least 5 years together with the "Madre", composed of yeasts and enzymes that is formed inside the barrels over the years, collected and kept for generations.
It is an excellent company together with cheeses, dry desserts and puddings.
Consume at room temperature.
