Speck Wine from il Vigneto dei Salumi is a true delicacy, perfect for refined palates. Not just a simple speck, but rather a masterpiece of artisan ingenuity! While working with Vinappeso, it often happened in the early days that the craft laboratory in Arbizzano di Negrar discarded the wine used in the aging processes that enhance Giulietta or Isabella cured meats. However, the artisan art soon made itself felt, pushing Walter Ceradini and his collaborators to perform new and surprising experiments using this particular blend that many others would have certainly discarded. A blend that is quite different from the wine we are used to drinking, a rich nectar that retains all the aromas and fragrances of aging, while maintaining the original aromatic and taste profile of the wine. A blend that contains traces of salt, a characteristic for which it has been renamed Cristallino Wine. Cristallino Wine is the product of a unique processing in the world, a mixture that physically consists of Amarone and Recioto but, spiritually, of knowledge, love, and madness, meaning all those ways of being that guide and inspire the work of il Vigneto dei Salumi. An ingredient that embraces the other products of the Vigneto dei Salumi line, creating something truly unique! The Speck Wine from il Vigneto dei Salumi presents an immediate scent of smokiness to the nose, which then gives way to a harmony of freshly picked herb fragrances. On the palate, the flavors and aromas of smokiness, herbs, and meat aging blend with the authentic fragrance of Valpolicella. The Speck Wine is obtained from the processing of the femoral muscle of the heavy Italian pig's thigh, aged first for 12-13 months in the cellar and then subjected to salting combined with the wines of Valpolicella, Recioto, and Amarone, thanks to the delicate yet characterizing presence of Cristallino Wine. Finally, the Speck Wine is flavored with fresh herbs and smoked only after aging is complete.
