Sunny Perpetual Wine from Marabino

SOLEGGITO, A PERPETUAL WINE THAT INVITES YOU TO DRINK THANKS TO ITS GREAT PARTICULARITY

Soleggiato is a very particular perpetual wine, known for its complex processing.

It comes from the vineyards where the famous Muscatedda and Fondo alla Palma are born, from Moscato Bianco grapes which are left to dry in the sun for 12 months.

Then, after having fermented with its skins, it joins a "mass of wines", including the Fondo alla Palma, the Passito, which is found in a large "perpetual" steel tank, and remains there to refine for several months.

Finally, it is placed in large demijohns and exposed to the sun for 12 months. 12 months in which light, heat and oxygen give this perpetual wine great oxidative nuances.

From a food and wine point of view, this Solegggiato is a very flexible wine, it is salty, fresh, very suitable for large aperitifs with seafood, fish, smoked meats, or spicy dishes. It is a perpetually dry wine, but with a low alcohol content, 12.5%, which invites drinking while maintaining the typical notes of muscat.
