Sweet
Passri' Pineto
By Marenco, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A passito Brachetto from the amphitheatre-shaped Pineto vineyard at Strevi, dried on racks and aged two years in old wood.
Tasting notes
Medium-intensity ruby red with garnet hues. Delicate, musky aroma with clear notes of dried rose. Sweet, enveloping, harmonious, velvety palate.
Pairs well with
All kinds of pastry, and stands up to chocolate, even dark; a fine way to close a meal or for relaxed moments.
