Romagna Albana Passito DOCG - Scacco Matto - 375ml - Fattoria Zerbina 2009

Scacco Matto is an Albana Passito DOCG in a 375-ml format signed by Fattoria Zerbina, compact and pleasantly approachable. In the glass it shows a deep amber color with golden highlights that invite a sip. On first approach it opens with aromas of dried and dehydrated fruit, apricot and fig, underscored by light honey and notes of candied citrus peel that balance the sweetness. The aromatic profile remains clean and not overly heavy, expressing a controlled sweetness thanks to a lively acidic spine and a saline sapidity that gives lift.

On the palate it is soft and enveloping, with a structure that well supports the residual sugar; the texture is silky and the finish long, without feeling heavy. It is suited to close a meal with cream-based desserts or dried fruit, but also pairs excellently with blue cheeses or dry pastries. Serve chilled, in small glasses, to better appreciate the balance between sweetness and freshness.
