Citerna

Vinsanto

p16qjdapne1mrv1bo3ksl15g8smd3

The town of Citerna traditionally produces vinsanto (sweet white raisin wine), a sweet Passito wine typical of Umbria. A powerful wine, made from selected grapes harvested from old vineyards and then put on mats or in the attic until Christmas for drying. They are then pressed and the liquid is collected in special kegs and mixed with the "mother", a type of yeast that comes from the concentrated residues of previous vintages. Three years later, after racking the wine is ready.
