Description
Graepe: Trebbiano and other traditional white varietals
Winemaking
The must undergoes the process for fortified wines; its 24 months aging in small oak casks confer an added dimension. Given the oxidation reached during the aging process, the wine can be kept for many years in the bottle
Anecdotes: in the past it was called Vin Santo but was changed to Dulcis following the EU directive on fortified wines n. 753/2002 that no
longer allows the use of the name Vin Santo for fortified wines but only for DOC and DOCG passito wines.
Label: the engraving depicted on the label is part of the bas-relief decoration on a 16th century wafer iron on display in the Lungarotti Foundation’s Wine Museum
