Muffato della Sala is made from botrytized grapes harvested in early November, to allow the morning mists to encourage the development of Botrytis Cinerea or "noble rot" on the grapes. This mold reduces the water content of the grapes and concentrates their sugars and aromas, giving Muffato della Sala a harmonious and unmistakable taste Golden yellow color Aromas reminiscent of peaches and honey. Well structured and very harmonious.
