Cuore d’Oro — Muscat Canelli
“Heart of Gold” is a rare and captivating dessert wine crafted from Estate-grown Muscat Canelli. Made from hand-selected grapes harvested at peak ripeness, this wine captures the pure aromatic beauty and elegance of this exceptional varietal.
Tasting Notes
Radiant golden hay in color, Cuore d’Oro opens with enchanting aromas of gardenia, citrus, rose petal, candied orange peel, and dried mango. The palate is rich yet beautifully balanced, revealing layers of tropical fruit, floral notes, and a luscious lavender honey character. Bright acidity provides freshness and lift, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with remarkable finesse.
Crafted through a meticulous freezing process that concentrates the natural sweetness of the fruit, this wine achieves a rare harmony of richness, purity, and elegance without becoming overly heavy.
A beautiful after-dinner indulgence, enjoy with blue cheese, panna cotta, peach cobbler, biscotti, pecan pie, or as an elegant pairing with foie gras.
