De Bartoli Padre della Vigna 2008
Marco spent years talking to the island’s elders and experts to understand how the grapes there, dried under the fierce sun, could turn into ‘nectar of the Gods’. He realized that only through unwavering attention to each vine could the sun-dried raisins yield this sweet wine, a legacy from Arab times. “Father of the vineyard” is the passito made only in the best vintages.

Pairing

At the end of the meal as a dessert wine. Meditation wine with dark chocolate.

Marco De Bartoli
From this winery:

Defying the conventions of the oenological market and betting with himself, Marco De Bartoli inaugurated his new production line in 1980, heedless of economic feedback, believing it a moral duty to uphold the traditional values of his land. Thus the ...
