WINES

Passito 'Solamini et amicis'

"Solamini ed amicis": in order to promote well-being in ourselves and our friends we propose a "nectar", a concentrated elixir of selected grapes left to dry naturally on a cane frame for six months, then pressed and vinified after March. A meditation wine. A perfect compliment to pastries, to full-flavored, aged cheeses or with dark chocolate.

.Tasting notes

Colour: bright, amber-colored, it has a rich, oily consistency.
Bouquet: its complex, yet delicate, aroma is resplendent with apricot, raisin, fig and hazelnut against an elegant vanilla background, interlaced with honeyed, toasted overtones.
Taste: warm and enveloping, on the palate it offers the same rich olfactory complexity of dried fruit with even a slight mineral hint. Sweetness and alcohol content are balanced by just the right touch of freshness.
Caressingly velvety tannic, lingering aftertaste.

.Serving suggestions

A meditation wine to be savored on its own. A perfect compliment to pastries. Excellent at the beginning of a meal with foie gras; superb accompaniment to full-flavored, aged cheeses; try it on pecorino cheese with a few drops of chestnut honey or as the perfect pairing with dark chocolate.
