PASSITO DI NOTO 2018 94 W&S Oct20

Moscato grapes grown in chalky soils at the southern tip of Sicily were left to dry for six weeks, losing half their weight and concentrating the fla­vors into a melange of dried apricot, grilled pineapple, honey and ginger. Bright acid­ity balances the wine’s glossy texture and its rich, sweet fruit and spice tones.  – S.J.
