The Moscadello di Montalcino Pascena Vendemmia Tardiva, produced by the renowned Tenuta Col d'Orcia, represents a sublime expression of Tuscan viticulture, combining tradition and innovation. This sweet wine, available in 375ml bottles, is made exclusively from Moscadello grapes, a historic vine of the Montalcino region, harvested late to intensify their sugars and aromas.

The Vendemmia Tardiva di Pascena stands out for its bright golden color, which foreshadows a rich and complex olfactory bouquet. On the nose, the wine offers an intense aroma of candied fruit, acacia honey, and hints of apricot and ripe peach. On the palate, the sweetness is balanced by a fresh acidity that enhances its persistent aromas and prolongs its tasting pleasure.

Aging in small wooden containers further enriches this Moscadello with elegant toasted notes and vanilla, creating a perfect harmony among all components. The structure of the wine is solid and well-defined, offering a long aromatic persistence and a rich, enveloping finish.

Ideal as a meditation wine, the Moscadello di Montalcino Pascena Vendemmia Tardiva pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, cream-based desserts, and dried fruits, or can be enjoyed on its own as a perfect conclusion to a meal. Serve at a temperature of about 12-14°C to fully appreciate its richness and complexity.

With each sip, this wine tells the story and heritage of Montalcino, an authentic Tuscan treasure that continues to enchant connoisseurs and collectors around the world.
