Anselmi Capitelli 2022

An utterly delicious sweetie made from ripe Garganega, in the Passito style. The grapes will have been infected with noble rot (botrytis) and, after drying, are fermented in small Allier oak barrels, before spending another eight months there maturing. The colour is a burnished gold as the nose offers notes of pineapple and peaches and is, more than anything, absolutely redolent of passionfruit. There is bright acidity to balance the sweetness and this helps provide a lengthy and non-cloying conclusion. Lots of honey on the finish. Excellent length, intensity and finely balanced, this is a wine which will provide joy for at least a decade.
