Visciola Cherry
Marche, Italy
Fun dessert wine of 35% cherry juice and 65% La Crima do Morro d’Alba. The cherry-ness is slightly overwhelming on the nose but there are some other scents like maple syrup and jam that give it some complexity. Low amount of tannins. Medium acidity. Very sweet but not cloying. It’s actually light enough to sip on for awhile but does eventually get tiresome.
Found this online: “The production is actually quite complicated, as two varieties of cherries are processed separately with half of them being dried in the sun for 40 days.
Grape wine from the current vintage is used as a base wine, but the fermented cherries are not pressed. Rather, a ripasso process is employed with some wine from the previous vintage. Sour cherries are then also utilized with residual sweetness retained.”

35% cherry, 65% Lacrima Di Morro d'Alba. Delicious dessert wine, having the bartender make a bourbon cocktail with it: 2parts 4 roses, 1 part this wine, bitters and orange peel

- Insanely sweet dessert wine
- Tastes almost like cherry cough syrup
- Good enough as its own

Sweet dessert flavor and cherries galore! Unique flavor similar to port, and a slight hint of an herbal tea. Delightful!
