Sciacchetra is
a passito wine from the Cinque Terre DOC which encompasses five villages on the
rugged Ligurian coast in northern Italy. The wines which are white and tend to
be dry is made from at least 40% Bosco grape with up to 40% of Albarola and
Vermentino (and up to 20% other white wine grapes). Sciacchetra is made from
the same cepage, and this example above has only the three grapes already
mentioned. This wine was tasted in the 2011 wine fair. Golden yellow in colour
with a sweet luscious nose, it was sweet and fruity on the palate with a touch
of lusciousness and acid aplenty to give structure to the wine right through to
a good finish.
