€ 36.00
The “Maturato” or Italian word for ripened was given to name this wine made from grapes that were left to fully ripen on the vine, only possible in the best vintages. With a late October harvest, the very particular characteristics of the varietal are enhanced. Pulcinculo is part of the Grachetto family of whites but has its distinct, intense aromas, a compact and long-lasting flavor and unmistakable marks of toasted almonds. A very memorable, seasoned wine which is best opened a few hours beforehand and can be enjoyed on its own or with food.
