Vinification Details

Passieno is obtained from the ancient technique of vinifying together fresh and slightly dried grapes. Part of the grapes are picked when perfectly ripe and transferred to the cellar for processing, so the freshness and fragrance of the grapes remain intact. The varieties best suited to drying are left in part on the vine and harvested with a further concentration of the grapes in order to give to the wine concentration and aromas recalling “appassimento”.

History

Melini was founded in 1705 by a wealthy merchant family from Florence. The cellar was rebuilt in the early 1970s bringing it to the forefront of modern winemaking. It is nestled into the side of a hill and constructed on four levels in order to achieve the progressive phases of vinification by gravity rather than pumping.

Regional Information

Viticulture in Italy has remote origins, in fact the ancient name of Italy was Enotria (land of wine). The vine is currently grown in all Italian regions. Italy is one of the most important wine-growing countries in Europe, as well as one of the oldest.
