A small jewel that springs from the volcanic and tuffaceous hills of Breganze. We are talking about Acininobili, a passito di Vespaiola proposed here by Maculan. Son of a unique terroir, shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity, the soils here are rich in minerals and well drained. An ideal substratum for Vespaiola, a native white grape of Breganze, famous for its rusticity and good withering capacity. When fully ripe, in fact, this grape gives clusters rich in sugars and aromas. The grapes are carefully selected by hand, one by one, and left to dry on racks to concentrate sugars and aromas. The subsequent slow vinification takes place in new Allier barriques, where the wine then rests for about two years, developing complexity and elegance. Its colour, a shiny, antique gold, anticipates an intoxicating bouquet, with notes of acacia honey, dried fruit, sultanas and even hints of flint. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be a masterpiece of balance: sweet but not cloying, full and sumptuous, with a voluminous body and a very long persistence that leaves its mark. A meditation wine, it is perfect to round off an important meal or to accompany a relaxing moment in front of the fireplace.
