VINI DOLCI

MOSCATO Passito di Pantelleria (Sicilia)$16/50

100% Zibibbo grapes from Sicily make this sweet wine perfect to pair with cheese, with desserts or with chocolates.   The harvest takes place from the 15th of August to the 30th of September, then selected bunches are set out to dry in the sun on stones for 30 to 40 days – being turned by hand several times. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and is not completed until summer.

 

VIN SANTO del Chianti Classico (Toscana) $18/50

The Vin Santo has been produced since the 14th century in Tuscany. It has always been known as the wine of friendship and every household – rich or poor – was never without it. It is served at any time of day, although most prefer it at the end of a meal.   Vin Santo is still considered to be a symbol of Italian tradition! The grape varietal is Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. It goes great with cheese, by itself, or served with biscotti.
