OthersFortified wine is wine to which distilled Alcohol has been added. When added to wine before the fermentation process is complete, the alcohol in the distilled beverage kills the yeast and leaves residual sugar behind. The end result is a wine that is both sweeter and stronger, normally containing about 20% alcohol by volume. The original reason for fortifying wine was to preserve it, as ethanol is a natural antiseptic. Even though other preservation methods exist, fortification continues to be used because the fortification process can add distinct flavors to the finished product.

Lis Neris Tal Luc 2007 (37.5 Cl)
The production system has not changed in all these years: made with nearly 100% Verduzzo grapes which are placed on mats to dry for 120/130 days in an air conditioned room. It is virtually in this gradual and slow process that we find the real secret of this wine. Fermentation and maturation take always place in new barriques. Unfiltered. It has a very full mouth but is never too sweet: a great balance among sweetness, saltiness and minerality with a long, persistent and fascinating aftertaste.
