Cantina Panizzari: DOC Wines of San Colombano

All the grapes we produce come from low-impact farming, comparable to organic products; the grapes are hand-picked and vinified at our winery. Harvest begins with the early-ripening grape varieties: first among them is Chardonnay, a white grape variety that ripens approximately between mid and late August. Then comes Pinot Noir, followed by Malvasia di Candia, Riesling, Barbera, Croatina, Uva Rara, and finally, Verdea, from September to mid-October. A small portion of Malvasia, grown in the most suited vineyards, is harvested in mid-October to produce the …Meditando…, a sweet wine of great impact. This is then placed on special drying racks where it stays until Christmas. Afterward, it is pressed, and the resulting must is placed in special barriques for at least two years. It is a unique product because no alcohol or must is added; the alcohol content is naturally produced from the large amount of sugar obtained through drying.
