Mutato di Cupano




We're pleased to introduce our vin fortifié: Mutato.

Its name comes from the word mutage, the process of blocking the fermentation of the must in the cellar with an addition of alcohol.

Mutato is a very unique wine made of sun-dried Merlot 2011 and our Grappa di Brunello 2001, the only we've ever produced, which goes well with cheese and desserts.

Here's what 2007 Best Sommelier of the World Andreas Larsson told about it:

«Medium deep tawny colour. Intense nose, not very classic style blending plum juice, dried fruit, leather and tobacco with some nuttiness. The palate has good bite with a slight tannic feel to it adding freshness, sweet dried fruit but also tobacco and crushed nuts, rather long and spicy finish. Interesting style».
