Winery Review: "We made this wine with the southern Italian Passito style used in the little island of Pantelleria. Completely dry and hand destemed grapes macerated in a rich must coming from very ripe, late harvested Vidal and Petit Manseng. Unique for VA you will taste an high enology creation."
My Review: My first thought with this wine was that it was just too much. It was ridiculously sweet. It also had a creamy mouth feel and there was a little acid, but what you mostly got was just SWEET. Like not even sugar sweet, more like taking a few tablespoons of syrup and mixing in fifty splenda packets. I can't say I really enjoyed it, but maybe with a nice desert it would taste better. I just found it to be too overpowering.
