Description of product typologies
Ramandolo PDO is golden yellow, varying in intensity, acquiring warm amber hues as the wine evolves; the nose displays typically floral fragrances of violet, rose and wild flowers, which blend with aromas of dried fruit, particularly fig and candied orange peel, with sensations reminiscent of minerals and sweet resins, accompanied by sweet, persistent spiciness; it is extremely smooth on the palate, creating a soft sensation that reflectionsits incredible balance, counter-balanced by a faint woody hint and a persistent sugary note that leads to a long, persistent finish with predominant sensations of candied fruit. The vinification processes of Ramandolo PDO wine, including drying the grapes, which can take place on the vines or in suitable environments (both thermo-conditioned or with forced ventilation), must take place within the production area. Grapes destined for the vinification of Ramandolo PDO wines must ensure a minimum natural alcohol level of 11% vol. It is mandatory for all Ramandolo PDO wines to display the year in which the grapes were produced on the label.
