Description

Tua Rita - Sese Passito di Pantelleria is an exquisite dessert wine originating from the rugged island of Pantelleria, off the coast of Sicily, Italy. This wine is crafted from the Zibibbo grape (also known as Muscat of Alexandria), which is grown in the island’s unique volcanic soil and sunny, windy climate. The grapes are dried naturally in the sun to concentrate their sugars and flavors, a traditional method known as "passito." The result is a luscious and aromatic wine that embodies the distinctive terroir of Pantelleria.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep amber or golden color, with a rich, viscous texture.

NOSE:
The bouquet is intensely aromatic, bursting with scents of dried apricots, raisins, figs, and candied orange peel. Subtle notes of honey, almonds, and Mediterranean herbs add to its complexity.

TASTE:
On the palate, Sese Passito di Pantelleria is full-bodied and sweet, yet balanced by a vibrant acidity. Flavors of dried fruits, such as apricots and dates, are prominent, along with hints of caramel, honey, and a touch of spice.

FINISH:
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit and a pleasant, refreshing acidity.

Food Pairing

Sese Passito di Pantelleria is a versatile dessert wine that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes:

Desserts:
Perfect with traditional Italian desserts like cannoli, panna cotta, and Sicilian cassata. It also pairs well with fruit-based desserts, such as apple tarts, apricot pastries, and dried fruit compotes.

Cheese:
Complements rich, blue-veined cheeses like Gorgonzola or Roquefort, as well as creamy cheeses like mascarpone and ricotta. The wine's sweetness balances the savory and tangy flavors of the cheese.

Nuts and Chocolates:
Pairs nicely with roasted nuts, particularly almonds and hazelnuts, as well as dark chocolate and chocolate-based desserts.
