Sweet
Spurì Passito
By Fabio Perrone, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A Moscato passito from withered bunches, named from the Piedmontese word for withered. Made only in the sunniest vintages.
Tasting notes
Colour: amber yellow. Bouquet: a wide range of perfumes from the typical aromas of the vine plus the development from contact with the oak. Taste: an incredible concentration of ripe-fruit aromas with a decent note of honey.
Pairs well with
Meditation wine; pairs with dry pastries or, more boldly, with spicy mature cheeses.
