Tasting Notes
4.2
Notes of dried banana, fig, eucalyptus, pine, tobacco, dried blackberries, and dry earth. An interesting, developed wine that's hard to drink solo. Harsh, drying yet mature tannins, and unexpected acidity. But there are multiple layers---very engaging to drink. It combines rusticity and finesse at the same time. Flavours of black olives mixed with dark berries and tobacco.
About
Pratoasciutto is named after the old field from which the grapes for this wine are sourced. It undergoes 60 days of skin contact with native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, 12 months of ageing in steel tanks, and 5 years in bottles. Around 6000 bottles are produced annually.
