Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Eric Guido
A deep golden color, the 2021 Torcolato impresses with a bouquet that mixes richness with refinement, as dried apricots and mangos meet complimenting notes of almond paste, cinnamon and fresh mint. This is surprisingly lifted and energetic in style, with racy acidity and tart orchard fruits offset by a core of sour citrus and spice. The 2021 keeps the mouth watering for more, finishing dramatically long yet incredibly fresh and leaving hints of green melon and lime to taper off slowly. Through it all, it’s nearly impossible to detect its 125 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is dangerously delicious. Torcolato is 100% botrytised Vespaiola, aged in 1⁄3 new French oak barrels
