Castellani |
This is one of now 51 items (135 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. This REPEAT last appeared in Vintages (*+/**) on January 9, 2016 at $10.95. Here is my previous note: Light gold colour. Fairly intense, spicy, caramel-tinged, nutty, sweet prune nose. Fairly sweet, slightly spicy, medium bodied, ripe plum flavours with some caramel notes on the crisp finish. This blend of 70% Trebbiano and 30% Malvasia and made using partially dried grapes and fortified with distilled alcohol. It has 16% alcohol and now 59 g/L residual sugar. |

TASTING NOTE: Crafted from 70% Trebbiano and 30% Malvasia and made using partially dried grapes, this sweet wine is fortified with distilled alcohol to halt fermentation and thereby retain the juice's natural sugars. Expect sophisticated evocations of spiced plum and caramel, and sip chilled as an aperitif. |
