A Passimento from the Veneto, made with grapes dried out to concentrate their flavor.

Red cherry, raspberry, cocoa, cedar and smoke aromas waft from the glass. The palate begins with red berry fruit leather supported by notes of  tobacco, baking spices, and tart red cherry juice offering complexity. A slightly chalky tannin structure and medium plus-acidity keep it balanced.
