About

We've dubbed this wine "the wine of climate change": we produce it only in years when excessive heat in August and a lack of rainfall cause the grapes to dry naturally on the vines, especially in south-facing vineyards and poorer soils.

We decided to take what nature gave us, the result of a year of cultivation and care, and with imagination and experience we vinified Dulcinea.

Ruby red in color with amber highlights. The nose offers hints of raisins, dried figs, candied red fruits, and cherries in alcohol. The aromas also include notes of dried fruit, almonds, hazelnuts, and amaretti biscuits. On the palate, we find both light tannins and a pleasant freshness, an expression of the varietals vinified.

FOOD PAIRINGS

This sweet wine, with approximately 10% alcohol by volume, pairs well with dry pastries and fruit desserts, chocolate desserts, and amaretti biscuits. It also pairs well with cheeses served with jams at the end of a meal. Ideal serving temperature: 10-12°C.
