Passito di Pantelleria DOC Nes 2022 Pellegrino

The Passito di Pantelleria Nes di Pellegrino takes its name from the word which in Arabic means "miracle", referring to the conditions in which it is produced on the island of Pantelleria.

The soft pressing of the grapes is followed by fermentation with the addition of dried grapes on traditional racks built with strips of reeds called "cannizzi". This passito ages for 10 months in steel at controlled temperature.

In the glass, the Nes has a golden yellow tending towards amber, while the nose recalls intense notes of candied fruit and citrus with hints of eucalyptus, sage and apricot. Warm and enveloping, persistent harmonies of apricot and dried fig predominate in the mouth.

Traditionally paired with dry pastries, cannoli, Sicilian cassata and raisin desserts, it goes perfectly with blue cheeses.
