PASSA DI NERO PASSITO MOSCATO ROSSO 50 CL

🍷 PASSADINERO Wine

The name “PASSA DI NERO” comes from Nero d’Avola grapes harvested after a period of drying on the vine (appassimento). It is very complex in both fragrance and taste, featuring a high acidity well balanced by the sweetness. The intensity, variety, and persistence of its scents and flavours make it unique.
