Anselmi I Capitelli Passito 2020

Veneto, ItalyI Capitelli is a passito wine made from selected late harvest grapes that go through a drying process, either naturally by 'raisining' the grapes on the vine or laying them on straw mats to desiccate in a well-ventilated drying room. It can also be a combination of the two methods. The result is a sweet, smooth dessert wine rich in alcohol. Usually, some 30-40 percent of the grapes are botrytis-affected, adding complex aromas and flavours to its primary markers of tangerine, apricots, and citrus. Powerful, complex, dense, sweet and perfectly balanced, it was made for biscotti or to be dessert on its own. Good value.Tasted: 05 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
