PASSITO

PASSITO ALPI RETICHE IGT

Nino Negri is the unique expression of its terroir, from which it draws the inspiration for each of its wines, including this aptly named passito, with a pervasive nose and a concentrated, plush palate.

SENSORY PROFILE

Golden yellow hue accompanied by a complex, pervasive nose with top notes of Moscato grapes, apricots (caused by the botrytis), lemon, and hints of Alpine herbs, all very terroir-true. The palate displays a fine balance of sweetness and acidity, and concentrated tropical fruit with a long, lingering finish.

FOOD PAIRING

A vino da meditazione, but also the ideal accompaniment to biscuits, tarts, and strongly flavoured cheeses.

VARIETIES

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Incrocio Manzoni.

PRODUCTION DISTRICT

The vineyards at the foot of the Rhaetian Alps, along the right bank of the River Adda.
