leesy (wine)

[Prudence]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to translate "leesy" into Italian? The definition in English is:

Descriptor of a wine that possesses a rich aroma and/or flavor that is a direct result of the wine resting on the lees. Lees are the solids, a result of fermentation, that are found on the bottom of a vat. These solid particles are comprised of grape skins, pulp, and yeast.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
Prudence

 

[You little ripper!]

Lees is translated as feccia here.

Feccioso is described as ricco di feccia: vino feccioso | Torbido, impuro here.

Lees in Italian is fondi/sedimenti.
I hope it helps!
Ciao!

I found fecce as well in some technical dictionaries.

I've never heard leesy, but the technical term for a wine "resting on the lees" is a sur lie wine, from the French. I wonder if they say the same in Italian.

Thank you all for your help. I love this forum. It is so useful for technical and difficult terms. I appreciate your efforts.

Yes, it is called sur lie: Glossario enologico

But also sulle fecce: Ministero delle politiche agricole e forestali

Anche qui un'altra conferma per "sur lie". Mi chiedo se equivalga al vino definito come "strutturato", ma forse ci vorrebbe un enologo

Non sono un'enologa, ma mi pare che vino strutturato significhi vino corposo, ricco di tannini, invecchiato, intenso nel profumo, nel sapore e anche nel colore.

Popolarmente è conosciuta come "posa", ha un po' di posa questo vino.
