Description
The *Moscato Passito* from Cinzano is a beautifully indulgent dessert wine that marries the aromatic elegance of Moscato grapes with the richness of the *passito* method. Harvested at peak ripeness, the grapes are carefully dried to concentrate their sugars and intensify their natural floral and fruity aromas. This traditional process, combined with Cinzano’s long-standing expertise in Italian winemaking, produces a golden, perfumed wine that offers both opulence and finesse.
In the glass, it glows with a deep golden-amber hue, promising luscious sweetness and aromatic depth. The bouquet is enchanting, with layers of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and acacia honey, complemented by ripe apricot, candied lemon peel, and a touch of tropical fruit. Subtle undertones of vanilla and almond add complexity to the wine’s fragrant profile.
On the palate, the *Moscato Passito* from Cinzano is velvety and luxurious, delivering flavours of dried apricot, peach compote, golden raisin, and citrus marmalade. Its natural sweetness is perfectly counterbalanced by a refreshing acidity, ensuring each sip remains vibrant and never cloying. The finish is long, floral, and honeyed, leaving a lingering impression of Moscato’s signature charm.
Perfect as a dessert in itself, it pairs wonderfully with almond biscotti, fruit tarts, blue cheeses, and creamy desserts. The Cinzano *Moscato Passito* is not only a testament to the timeless appeal of Moscato but also an invitation to experience the richness and artistry of Italy’s *passito* winemaking tradition.
