The WineHunter Award Platinum
The winners of The WineHunter Award Platinum are products that have exceeded 96 points out of 100 in The WineHunter guide, compiled by 14 expert commissions under the direction of Helmuth Köcher. This award, among the most coveted in the sector, celebrates wines, gastronomic specialties, spirits and beers that represent Italian and international excellence in quality, harmony and respect for the raw material.
Below are the characteristics of Serenissimo, the first sweet and sour condiment made only of grape must, aged in terracotta amphorae.
It is born from the passion for wine and Balsamic Vinegar, for the traditions of both and the innovation sought by the new generation of the Sereni family. It is a completely natural product, without any addition or influence of flavor from wood or from any other step/element during production.
The low-temperature cooking of the must from only Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes does not alter the fruity flavor of the must. The aging in terracotta amphora allows Serenissimo to “age on its own flavors”, increasing its intensity and complexity. The color is an intense red, since it does not even take on the dark color usually given by cooking over direct heat or wood. The acidity due to spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts is low and balanced
It is bottled in small terracotta amphorae handmade in Italy, each of which is a unique piece, as is the delicate product they contain.
