In 2019, the Mappalians of Planet 61 had tried to create theirfirst passito wine by drying the grapes directly on the plant; unfortunately, the weather conditions in the area did not allow this experiment.

They worked hard, they built the racks and laid the grapes there to dry for 60 days. Once they have reached the right drying, they manually destem each single bunch and put it to ferment.

At the end of the fermentation, the wine is left to refine in barriques for a period of 18 months.

The result is a garnet, intense, consistent and sweet wine, with notes of overripe red fruit and a spicy note given by the passage in wood.
