La Stoppa, an organic estate run by Elena Pantaleoni, is a leader in the Emilia region. La Stoppa's approach to bottling and releasing wine can be described in two words: observation and patience. It is not uncommon for wines to age in barrels for years before bottling, and then to spend many more years in the bottle before release. Vino del Volta is made from 100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. Grapes are hand-harvested from 30-50-year-old estate vines and dried in the sun for 5-15 days before fermentation. It is aged for extended periods before bottling. This results in a wonderfully sweet and viscous wine layered with honeyed florals, burnt orange peels, peach preserves, confectionery spice, and fig.
