## Summary

Silva's Erbaluce di Caluso Passito DOCG, aged three years in oak barrels. Apricot, plum and fig on the nose, with carob freshness on the palate.

## Tasting notes

Deep gold with pronounced orange reflections, like a setting sun. Sweet, sunny nose of overripe fruit, especially apricots, plums and figs; a little oxygen brings out liquorice root, saffron and sun-dried white figs. Pleasantly viscous on the palate, with fruit from golden apple to mandarin, held up at the back of the palate by carob that gives the freshness needed to balance the sweetness.

## Food pairings

Good with aged cheeses and honey, with natural gorgonzola, ideal with dry pastries.
