Dal Forno Romano Vigna Seré Passito Bianco

In the glass

Aroma: orange blossom, apricot jam, honey, dried peach, vanilla, candied citrus

Palate: apricot jam, honey, orange peel, vanilla cream, dried peach, lemon zest mineral

A rare white passito from Dal Forno, made from dried Moscato and Garganega grapes at the Illasi valley estate, applying the same concentration philosophy as the Amarone to a sweet white with orange blossom and apricot intensity.

What it pairs with

• Pastiera napoletana (orange blossom tart)
  The wine's orange blossom and apricot notes echo the pastry's citrus-ricotta character.
• Torta di ricotta con limone
  Ricotta lemon cake and the wine's apricot-honey acidity are a delicate match.

History

Vigna Seré is Dal Forno's unusual white passito, made in tiny quantities from dried Moscato and Garganega at the Illasi estate; a curiosity piece from the producer known for ultra-concentrated Amarone, applying the same drying logic to white grapes.
