Arcass: here is the Arneis Passito from Cascina Chicco!The name indicates one of the athletic gestures of the "Balon", the most traditional sport of these hills. The Arcass, the sprout, expresses the indomitable peasant pride, capable of responding, blow after blow, to any difficulty.
This passito obtained from the late harvest of overripe grapes has a soft, harmonious taste, and a sweet aftertaste. The nose is complex and intense, with the aroma of the grape variety and the sweetness of the vanilla.
Un vino dal profumo ampio, intenso, etereo, di grande complessità, con evidenti sentori di frutta secca, frutta sciroppata, lievi sfumature tostate, note dolci. Il gusto è dolce, pieno, armonico e avvolgente. Trova abbinamento ideale con i dolci della tradizione piemontese, in particolare dolci a base di mandorle, amaretti, nocciole. Molto interessante l’abbinamento anche con formaggi stagionati ed erborinati.
The Deltetto family produces a Passito called "Bric du liun" which translated means: "Bric" the tip of the hill and "liun" the word lion.The low production, the over-ripening in the vineyard, the drying in small boxes in the open air and the intervention of the noble mold allow to obtain a very concentrated and enveloping nectar which, supported by a good acidity, is never cloying.
