Light in color and bright in intensity, this luminous late-harvest Moscadello boasts enormous purity of aromas. The wine is also delicate and feminine with tones of yellow rose, vanilla cream and apricot that accent it’s thick, creamy texture. Not cloying or too sweet; would pair well with pâté.

La Poderina 2005 Vendemmia Tardiva Moscadello (Moscadello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
Moscadello grapes are left to dry on the vine and the barrique-fermented wine ages one year on the lees. The result is a delicate, understated dessert wine with admirable harmony and buoyancy. Jasmine, peach, natural rubber, almond blossom, citrus and orange peel best describe this elegant wine.
