Beautiful rich garnet colour - dense and dark. The aromas are intense, complex and refined. From bold mineral notes of the caranto terroir to spicy vanilla, dark tobacco and liquorice, all mingled with cherry and plum jam. Hints of chocolate, incense and mint. The palate is warm, soft and luscious, with a delicate sweetness, despite the 80 grams of residual sugar, thanks to careful management of the withering process, so as to preserve the acidity/tannins necessary to avoid those disagreeable candied notes of "over-cooked" fruit characteristic of most passito wines.
