Eghemon Passimiento

This wine really is a great exhibit of craftsmanship. Allowing the Nero d'Avola to wither on the vine before harvest concentrates the sugars and gives the wine a generous fruit richness. Tempered by Frappato picked at its earliest maturation to give the blend a huge whack of freshness. Unique, interesting, but above all else, delicious.

Frappato grapes are harvested as soon as they reach maturation, so that all the typical freshness remains in the must which is fermented slowly in small steel tanks. Nero d’Avola grapes are left on the vines for a light withering and for natural dehydration to occur. They are late harvested and with extreme care placed in wooden cases. After a soft pressing the musts are fermented at a controlled temperature. The natural sweetness of the wines is obtained by interrupting the fermentation by dropping the temperature until it is too cold for fermentation to continue. The wine is then matured in steel tanks.
