2014 Ca' Botta 'La Callaia' Bianco Veronese IGT – Italy

Short description: Special concept dry white wine from dried grapes with an extra long maceration and a very slow fermentation of the grape residues. This magnificent white wine with a particularly dense body was produced using an Italian "grape drying" technology. Characteristics: A special white wine made according to the same recipe as the legendary Amarone DOCG. Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. This wine has a complex, elegant, and harmonious structure; the aromatic profile begins with aromas of peach, pear, yellow apple, exotic fruits, and vanilla, followed by aromas of bread crust and flowers. The acidity is fine and balanced. Although dry in character, it has a pleasant sweet aftertaste of dried fruits. On the palate, a soft and mineral taste finishes with a structure of exceptional determination. This wine ages well for 15-20 years.Short description: Special concept dry white wine from dried grapes with an extra long maceration and a very slow fermentation of the grape residues.
