This is a sweet dessert wine from Sicily, Italy.
The wine is aged for 2 years in Slavonian oak barrels and then about 10% of the volume is added 4 year Superior Masala wine.
Color: is a nice ruddy amber-mahogany color with clear fringing
Nose: Sweet, fresh grapes
Taste: Clean, watery thin mouthfeel, youthful, dates, stone fruits, raisins
Off of Colombo’s Website: Soft press and slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 20-25°C. The base wine is of a more or less intense straw color, with a 12% alcohol content and a minimum residual sugar level of 20g/l. Alcohol, mistella (fresh grape must with added alcohol) and mosto cotto (concentrated fresh grape must which is traditionally “cooked” until it reduces to a third of its original volume) are then added to the base wine, thus giving it respectively its final alcohol content, the desired sugar level and the traditional flavor.
