Sweet
Bricco del Ciliegio
By Castello di Uviglie, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A sweet wine from frozen Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, made using a technique inspired by German and Canadian Eiswein.
Tasting notes
Appearance: liquid gold. Nose: acacia honey, vanilla, dried apricot, toffee and hazelnut. Palate: soft and sugary, seductive with a pleasant freshness alongside the intense sweetness.
Pairs well with
Small pastries, local krumiri and zabaglione; an exquisite match for blue cheeses.
