Moscato Passito

By Tenuta Olim Bauda, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy

Tenuta Olim Bauda Moscato Passito

A dessert wine made only in excellent vintages, one of the first the siblings made after taking over the estate.

Tasting notes

Fine, intense, pleasant bouquet recalling dried fruit such as fig and apricot and candied fruit such as orange peel, with sweet notes of icing sugar and honey. Deep amber yellow. Very persistent in the mouth without becoming cloying, thanks to a good balance of acidity and residual sugar.

Pairs well with

Meliga biscuits, baked stuffed peaches or Krumiri; also blue cheeses such as natural gorgonzola, Stilton or Roquefort.
