    • 2013, Fabio Mencarelli, Sweet, Reinforced and Fortified Wine:
      Sensorially, mistella presents two maturation phases: 1. during the first month after production, it has a dominant alcoholic taste that is fresh, flowery and fruity (green apple), and a smell that recalls the must and the grape from which it has been obtained; 2. after several months, the product has more mature aromas, the fruit smell develops (the green-apple aroma becomes more candy-like), and the sweet, soft and velvety sensation dominates over the alcohol.
