Carole Bouquet's Passito di Pantelleria Sangue d'Oro 2016 is a captivating sweet wine, born from actress Carole Bouquet's passion for the unique winemaking heritage of Pantelleria. This project is dedicated to resurrecting and enhancing the traditional Passito, utilizing Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) grapes grown in challenging, terraced vineyards. The grapes undergo a meticulous sun-drying process, known as 'passerillage,' to concentrate their sugars, resulting in a wine of profound character. This golden-hued sweet wine offers intense and enveloping aromas of dried fruits like figs, apricots, and raisins, alongside dried citrus peel notes of orange, lime, and marmalade. Hints of honey and almond intertwine with subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced sweetness, supported by a refreshing acidity that prevents any heaviness. Its soft texture and pleasant persistence recall candied fruit and honeyed notes, with some tasters also finding caramel, toffee, and tropical fruit nuances. 🍴 "Sangue d'Oro" is a versatile companion for a range of culinary delights. It shines with dry desserts, pastries, and blue cheeses. Consider pairing it with foie gras or chocolate-based creations. It can also offer a delightful contrast with small savory bites. 🥂 Ideal as a contemplative wine, an aperitif, or a luxurious dessert wine, the Carole Bouquet Passito di Pantelleria Sangue d'Oro is perfect for special celebrations, intimate gatherings, or simply enjoying at sunset. Serve it chilled, around 10–12 °C, in wide glasses to fully appreciate its intense aromas. 【A unique sweet wine project by actress Carole Bouquet, resurrecting traditional Passito di Pantelleria.】
