Pellegrino Giardino Pantesco Passito di Pantelleria DOC 0,75 ℓ

The Passito di Pantelleria di Pellegrino is produced from only Zibibbo grapes grown in the Pantelleria tree on the island of Pantelleria. The soft pressing of the grapes is followed by fermentation with the addition of dried grapes on traditional racks built with strips of reeds called cannizzi . This passito ages for 10 months in steel at controlled temperature. Golden yellow in color tending to amber, it opens with sweet notes of apricot and candied fruit, with hints of dried fig. On the palate there are pleasant notes of honey and cooked pear supported by a harmonious and persistent taste. It is excellent in combination with the typical Sicilian sweets made with ricotta or custard creams. Try it with soft dark chocolate cupcakes.
