The Winemaking

The production of Airali Pas Dosé follows traditional and rigorous methods. The grapes, hand-selected to ensure the highest quality, undergo a gentle pressing. The obtained must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Subsequently, the wine is bottled for a second fermentation, following the classic method, where it matures on the lees for a minimum of 36 months. This process imparts the wine with its aromatic complexity and characteristic fine and persistent pérlage.

Tasting the wine by Tenuta Carretta

In the glass, Airali Pas Dosé presents a deep yellow color enriched with golden reflections. The pérlage is fine and persistent, a sign of careful and lengthy maturation. On the nose, it releases an intense and characteristic bouquet, with predominant notes of bread crust, nuts, dried figs, and honey. On the palate, the wine is soft and savory, displaying a pleasant dryness and overall harmony that enhances its structure. Its elegance and savoriness make it a wine of great charm, capable of surprising with every sip.
