Passito DOC Forterosso Carignano del Sulcis - Mesa 2023

It displays an intense ruby color with garnet reflections, suggesting the concentration typical of a Carignano passito. On the nose it shows ripe and candied red fruit, dried figs and plum, accompanied by a base of honey and light Mediterranean spices; the profile is enveloping but not overly heavy, with a pleasant sweet sensation that remains well balanced. The palate is warm and rounded, showing body and density without losing freshness, while the tannic texture, soft and integrated, supports the sweetness and leads to a long, clean finish.

On the palate the sweetness is balanced by good acidity and a salinity that make the wine suitable for food pairings as well; it pairs harmoniously with aged or blue cheeses, desserts based on dried fruit and honey, or as a meditation wine. Serve slightly chilled to appreciate its aromas and structure; a choice for those seeking a passito with warm, Mediterranean tones, elegant and of good presence.
