The grapes are harvested at the end of August when they are ripe and then dried in the fruit cellar in 5kg crates at 23⁰C. After around 40 days, when half their weight has been lost, the grapes are pressed and the resulting must, which is particularly rich in sugar, ferments slowly at 18°C for over a month in stainless steel containers, where it remains until bottling. Light golden yellow in colour, with a fine bouquet of orange blossom, some quince, apricot and peach. Sparkling on the palate with surprisingly lively acidity, spreads out beautifully, with orange peel and some grapefruit on the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Passito di Noto is wildly exotic and highly aromatic, with tropical floral and melon tones complemented by confectionary spices and candied citrus pith. Glycerol-like concentration coats the palate, offset by juicy acidity as a mélange of ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices washes across the senses. Despite its confectionary depths, the finish is fresh and lifted, with a flowery resonance that lingers." Vinous
