A rare Passito of white grapes: Garganega, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Trebbiano and Savorin. Awesome.

Given its history, its story, and its rarity, I wanted to LOVE this, but as lovely and delicious as it is, it doesn’t measure up to the best Sauternes. Don’t get me wrong — I would drink it all day long, just not on my dime.

Clearly a modern master. This dessert wine was amazing with great depth and fruit. Burnt Carmel dominates this 25 year old baby.
