                                          SAN SEBASTIANO

The Unique CASA RONSIL's Ice Wine make from antic grape variety

An amazing nectar bapterised San Sebastiano in honour of the saint of Chiomonte with beautiful rose colour, coppery highlights and unusual nuances of ash pale grey. The intensity of the wine presents hints of pink grapefruit. He's full in the mouth and persistent, the balance of the good acidity and sweetness is perfect with a clean finish.

From the Concept to the Realisation:

According to the agreement from the international standard for the Ice Wines production, the harvest start at night or early in the morning with a temperature under - 8°. It's very important to do the harvest before the sun shine to avoid the warmest . Grapes used to make the ice wine production have to be frozen during the harvest as well as during the slow press action.No artificial freezing No enrichement All the grapes used must origined in the same region Minimum natural alcohol : 15% alc./ vol. During the winter the grapes became the prey of the animals, every day we must go into the vineyards to control the protections and hunt the starving birds. The total of the production in 2007 was not more of 700 bottles of 37, 5cl , a tiny quantity obtain in extreme conditions will make a rare so expansive but at the end a so precious wine. We mustn't forgot that under the menace of the global warming one day may be ice wines will diseppear !

The Perfect Harmony:

Usuelly ice wine is a dessert wine , is beautiful with semi-sweet desserts like a red fruits tiramisù, strawbeery with cream and sorbets. You would be impressed by testing San Sebastiano with a little piece of rye bread a fillet of "foie gras poêlé" with a light touch of balsamic vinegar ! Important : has to be drink very frozen in crystal glasses*.

* 8 little glasses with one bottle

The GRAPPA of Ice Wine:

We decided to conclude this exprimental cycle of the ice wine project respcting tradition with the distillation of the pomace from the frozen harvest. The residue of the vinification was given to the distillery at Piobesi d'ALBA . In honour of Chiomonte ancestral local occitan dialect,the Grappa was baptised " eigo vitto" : water of life. Eigo vitto is absolutly transparent in colour you can find sensations of fruits , she's soft in the mouth. The palate of lovers of Grappa is fully satisfied and it warms their heart.
