This is
Passopisciaro Bianco Dolce, an eclectic sweet wine from Sicily. It is made from
Minnella, Grecanico, Catarratto, Coda di Volpe, Insolia and Caricante, which
were picked and hung up to dry for some 5 months from cellar beams. With grapes
normally associated with a number of different regions and with such a
disregard for rules, this wine is unsurprisingly a Vino da Tavola (in the
spirit of such eminent forebears as Sassicaia once was). This wine has a lovely
golden tea colour, with a rich dried apricot nose with a bitter note. The dried
apricot notes followed through the sweet palate (again with a slight touch of
bitterness) to a sweet acid finish. Yummy!
