...The passito is a very ancient wine which is now produced with the modern system of ‘appassimento’ (grape drying). Explosive aromas of exotic fruit, jasmine, candied citrus fruit are complex but easy to admire. The ideal companion for the great Sicilian tradition of sweets and ice creams.
Farming system: Guyot
Planting density: 4.500/5.000 vines per hectare
Vinification: The grapes are picked when well ripened at the end of August and are then dried in the fruit cellar, placed in 5 kg crates in a ventilated atmosphere at 23⁰C; when half their weight has been lost, about 40 days later, the grapes are pressed and the must thus obtained, particularly rich in sugars, ferments slowly at 18⁰C for more than a month in stainless steel vats, where they remain until bottling

ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIESCOLOUR: Bright golden yellow AROMA: Full of dried apricots, mango, orange peel, medlar, dates, pistachio cream and vanilla. Citrus marmalades. The fruity look is fused with aroma of Darjeeling tea, flowers of mimosa and orange blossom, ginger, sesame. A set that recalls all the perfume of Sicilian pastry FLAVOUR: The six weeks of drying guarantees a high concentration of sugars and some natural transformation of the grapes contributes to the extraordinary aromas of apricot, rose petals, papaya and quince. Sweet and fleshy in the mouth, but also lively with citrus notes. It recalls nougat and candied ginger |

Best enjoyed at a temperature of 12°C. |
 |
Wine made to match with the best sweets, and having been dried could possibly favour dried fruits as well as being enriched by fruits with a prominent acidic content |
 |
Aging Capacity: long, as with all sweet wines, time benefits |
