Maculan Torcolato 2003 -Italian White Made from Vespaiolo, Tocai and Garganega grapes that have been naturally dried for 4 - 5 months before fermentation. The color of Torcolato - pale to golden amber - depends on the amount of botrytis which occured. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 1/3 of which are new. Torcolato has a rich spicy flavor reminiscent of baked pears. It is also possible to pick up hints of apricots, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and hazelnuts.
