doble pasta
[DOH-blay PAHSS-tah]

Spanish for “double paste,” referring to red wine that is made by fermenting a second batch of MUST over the LEES of a prior batch. This essentially doubles the dead YEAST cells, grape skin, and pulp particles that are in contact with the new must, which results in a much heavier wine. Doble pasta wines are often used as BLENDING WINES to boost lighter-weight reds.
