Tasting note
Occhio di Pernice is made from red wine grapes that have been selected with great care. The grapes are carefully placed in small wooden boxes. Only the best are good enough for this. After harvesting, they are laid out on straw mats to dry and not pressed until the following spring. The winemaker receives only small amounts of juice, but full of extractives and with very high degrees of Oechsle. As it ripens, its color develops into an amber tone, which has also given it its name: Occhio di Pernice means “eye of the partridge” in German. The result is another dimension of what is known. An elixir is revealed that spreads pleasantly throughout the body and inspires the mind. The sensory experience is overwhelming and unique in its kind.
Culinary recommendation
Occhio di Pernice is a meditation wine that requires all attention and wants to be enjoyed alone.
Vinification
Vinified and aged for 10 years in used wooden barrels, the so-called caratelli (traditional oak barrels with a capacity of 50 liters), without the barrels ever being opened during this time. The Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo then matures in the bottle for another six months.
