Ep 101
This is the last of my Italian wine mini-series and we have to talk about Italian dessert wines! Plus, I’m going to share with you my favorite dessert wine ever!
From the late harvests, noble rot, and even frozen grapes, we will dive into the processes that give these Italian dessert wines their characteristic sweetness. Discover why certain wines retain their residual sugar and how methods like Passito enrich the wine's flavors.
You’ll discover wines like Vin Santo, Moscadello di Montalcino, and Recioto della Valpolicella. Think maraschino cherries and dark chocolate flavors. And if you aren’t a fan of sweet wine, I’ll be sharing some other options that might just make you a fan of dessert wine after all!
So, if you are ready to venture into the amazing world of Italian dessert wines then this episode is for you!
