“Esseme”, Prié Blanc

Raised 24 months in amphora and fermented on its skins, Pavese’s “Esseme” (formerly “Tondo”) cuvée is rich in dry extract and concentration, but does not show the aggressive tannin or dark color of other skin macerated wines. Prié, in fact, per Ermes, was often macerated in generations past, and we at Rosenthal Wine Merchant are excited to experience the magic of Morgex in this alternate register.
