Carlo Pellegrino 1880 Passito naturale di Pantelleria DOC - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.50

A sweetly passito wine, not overdone. This is how we could describe this interesting product offered by Pellegrino. The result of a vinification of zibibbo grapes left to dry under the generous sun of August. The harvest, necessarily by hand, is carried out in the first days of September, when the grapes have reached perfect ripeness and the right concentration. In the winery the pressing is soft and, immediately after the start of fermentation, dried grapes are added, giving the wine complexity and richness of taste, without precluding its freshness. At the end of the vinification process, the wine is left to refine in steel tanks, at controlled temperature, for a period of at least 10 months. The result is a wine characterized by a beautifully intense yellow amber color On the nose it is dominated by sweeter scents of apricot, candied fruit and dried fig. on the palate, finally, you discover a pleasantly smooth wine, with a hint of honey and the same pleasant notes of dried apricot, dried fig and cooked pear. A real treat for the palate. A cuddle for every sweet tooth. ...
