Passito di Falanghina e Moscato

AMMUSCIAT

Denomination: Beneventano Bianco Passito IGT

Certification: organic wine

Area : Casalduni – Guardia Sanframondi

Grapes: Moscato Bianco 50% Falanghina 50%

Soil: clayey soil

Altitude: 360 mt. s.l.m. average of the vineyards

Exposure: sud sud-est

Training system: Guyot 3500 vines/hectare

Vinification: the grapes are left to dry on wooden racks, then they are pressed and softly pressed. The must is fermented with indigenous yeasts in steel at a controlled temperature.

Aging: in steel for 8 months and in the bottle for 2 months.

Description: after vinification the wines are combined and the final result gives us a dense wine, intense golden yellow color, almost amber, on the nose hints of dried fruit, vanilla and zabaglione. On the palate soft and enveloping everything is balanced by an acidic vein that cleanses the mouth calling for drinking.

pairings

The most obvious pairing is small dry pastries, biscuits such as cantucci or tozzetti, jam tarts and our famous pastiera. But for those who like to have fun with pairings, we recommend trying our passito with cheeses, from blue cheeses to mature sheep and goat cheeses. Fantastic!

A recipe to try in combination with AMMUSCIAT is the baked pear filled with ricotta cream with walnuts and honey.

Enjoy your dessert everyone! 🙂
