About this wine
La Stoppa Buca Delle Canne from Emilia-Romagna. Rare is the occasion when grapes struck by Botrytis cinerea are harvested from a near 100-year-old half-hectare Sémillon vineyard at La Stoppa, producing very few bottles of a sweet and complex wine with a hint of saffron, typical of a botrytised Sémillon, with no added sulphur and no filtration.
A small pour as a dessert wine. Will age for many years.
Tasting notes
Rare is the occasion when grapes struck by Botrytis cinerea are harvested from a near 100-year-old, half-hectare vineyard. Very few bottles of a sweet and complex wine with a hint of saffron, typical of a botrytised Sémillon. The noble rot concentrates the sugars and aromatics while the natural approach of La Stoppa preserves the wine's freshness. Not made every year, a rare treasure when it appears.
Goes with
Foie gras, blue cheeses, Sauternes-style pairings, and elegant fruit-based desserts.
