The winemaking applies the 'in bianco', that is, 'without skin' method.
The grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases. The bunches are then laid delicately on a conveyor belt that takes them to the destemmer, where the grapes are separated from the stems. the clean grapes are then directed to a pneumatic press where they are crushed.
The juice is immediately cooled down and, after 24 hours, decanted at controlled temperature (55.4 - 57.2°F, or 13 - 14°C) then allowed to ferment with selected yeasts, keeping the temperature under control during the whole process.
The must may rest for a few weeks 'Sur Lie' (with yeast) before being decanted. This method enhances the typical characteristic perfumes of the grape.
The color is straw yellow with green highlights. The scent is reminiscent of elder tree and black locust flowers. To the palate it is harmonic and velvety, vaguely reminiscent of almond.
Pairs well with hors d'oeuvres, soup, pasta, boiled meat and seafood-based recipes, especially with boiled fish. |

The late harvest method with withering on the vine used by Azienda Agricola T•E•S•S•A•R•I gives the "Le Bine Longhe" cru its characteristic, unique bitter flavor.
The vine branches are cut in mid September and the bunches are left to dry in the vineyards until late October / beginning of November. The winemaking applies the 'in bianco', that is, 'without skin' method.
The grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases. The bunches are then laid delicately on a conveyor belt that takes them to the destemmer, where the grapes are separated from the stems. the clean grapes are then directed to a pneumatic press where they are crushed.
The juice is immediately cooled down and, after 24 hours, decanted at controlled temperature (55.4 - 57.2°F, or 13 - 14°C) then allowed to ferment with selected yeasts, keeping the temperature under control during the whole process.
The must may rest for a few weeks 'Sur Lie' (with yeast) before being decanted. This method enhances the typical characteristic perfumes of the grape.
Thanks to the pruning method applied, the controlled clearing and late harvest, this wine delivers the true, typical character of the Soave DOC. |

| Comments: |
The specially selected grapes for Recioto production are harvested at the beginning of October then allowed to rest in specially-made frames kept in dry, airy places. They are pressed at the beginning of the following year.
The juice is then immediately cooled down and, after one or two days of rest at low temperature, is decanted twice before letting it ferment with selected yeast, keeping the temperature under control during the whole process.
The color is bright golden, the fragrance intense, with floral notes. The body is strong and harmonic. The bouquet is velvety, fruity with light notes of honey. Long lasting, pleasant aftertaste reminiscent of bitter almonds.
This wine complements most desserts, including cheese platters. |
