Accordo is a Passito wine obtained from the “Turbiana” grapes which are raisin-dried in small boxes for a certain period, after careful selection among the company’s historical vines. Grapes, pressed normally in December, produce a concentrated wine-must which maintains the noble characters of the variety.
It is characterized by a golden yellow colour, scents which are reminiscent of its yellow flowers, of candied fruit or in syrup, with notes of citrus trees, made softer by its ageing in barrels.
The taste is very mellow, defined by an important structure and the rich presence of essence.
It goes pleasantly well with blue cheeses and pastry based desserts or patisserie without cream.
L’Accordo Passito is best served cool, at 12° C, in medium-size glasses.
