Furthermore, while similar wines settle for a three-year maturation, we wait an extra year-because patience is a virtue that yields delicious depth. The young wine is aged for two years in steel containers, where it is decanted three times. Then, Cardisco receives its signature woody notes by maturing in new American or French Oak for a full 18 months. Finally, the wine is bottled and left to rest for six to eight months prior to release. The result is a full-bodied, world-class wine that is so well crafted, it could last 20 years or more but who can resist its siren song for that long?

The dried grapes, which are more like plump raisins, are then pressed and immediately placed in wooden “caratelli” barrels. Every barrel is hewn from five different woods, each of which contributes a different shading of flavor, ranging from apricot to caramel. The sealed caratelli remain undisturbed under the eaves of our attic for six to eight years, where the natural fluctuations of the seasons expertly influence the fermentation. When completed, this time-honored art yields a dessert wine of unparalleled sophistication that compresses the flavor of 30 pounds of grapes into every rare and precious bottle.
