I.G.T. Alpi Retiche Passito "Anomalia Singolare" 2013(0.375 l)

Awards: Gold Medal "Serendipity Winers", international wine competition dedicated to sweet, fortified and aromatised wines

History: born almost “by chance”... from an idea by Stefano Nera, who on the occasion of the first vintage produced (2004), decided to prolong the drying of a small quantity of grapes destined for the production of Sforzato di Valtellina Docg. The fermentation of these grapes, after the long drying period, took place very slowly, due to the high sugar concentration reached by the berries; from here an "anomalous" but necessary procedure was born, namely that of interrupting the fermentation itself, thus obtaining a sweet wine.

Special features: It is a sweet passito with a very defined personality, ideal for stimulating all the senses, produced by the natural over-ripening of the same Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" grapes from which obtains the Sforzato di Valtellina Docg. The grapes are generally left to dry in the fruit cellar until the month of April following the harvest, then pressed revealing the "singular" characteristics of an extraordinary passito.

Why buy it: because it is a limited quantity production (less than 1,000 bottles per year), appreciated by all palates in search of new sensations, which Cantina Nera offers to enthusiasts and connoisseurs. The right and balanced "accompaniment" to your desserts and, why not, to seasoned and blue cheeses in particular.
