DESCRIPTION

The Catarratto from the barrel fills up!

Born almost by chance, Muffato is a table wine produced on the model of Jura wines but with connotations similar to those of a “Marsala wine”. The mother of the wine dates back to 2013, the year in which following an excellent and abundant vintage of Catarratto Guanciabianca, not knowing how to use a surplus of production, it was decided to fill a barrel. In the following years, almost forgotten in the cellar, no filling of the barrel was carried out, thus allowing the formation of mold and flor, to naturally protect the wine.

The result is a wine that reminds the nose of the typical oxidation of a Marsala with sweet vanilla notes while on the palate it is warm, savory and dry. Serve at a temperature of 16-18° in combination with aged or blue cheeses or as a meditation wine.
