Wine: Lumenera Velo de Flor | Bianco dolce da uve Stramature
Cellar: Cantina Murales
Lumenera Velo de Flor: A sweet white wine crafted from overripe Vermentino and Vernaccia grapes.
The essence of LUMENERA is fueled by a deep desire to satisfy our inherent curiosity. The temptation to experiment with late-harvesting the VERMENTINO grape was irresistible. The partnership with VERNACCIA Flor proved to be delicately optimal. The grapes are left to dry naturally on the vine, where yeast called Velo de Flor forms on the grape skins, leading to the development of a layer of flor during fermentation. These organisms produce unique scents and flavors, reducing volatile acidity, consuming some glycerin, and triggering oxidative processes.
Intense antique golden color. The nose reveals incredibly rich, complex sensations with remarkable persistence. Various categories of aromas emerge, from floral notes to dried fruits, vanilla, spices, and tar. After a continuous olfactory journey, there is a smooth progression leading to complete retro-nasal satisfaction, bringing back secondary and special hints. Harmonious taste with great elegance and concentration. Perfect as an aperitif or digestif; pairs excellently with aged cheeses and blue cheeses. Its value continues to shine in the years following harvest. Serving temperature: 9-12 °C.
