Quintarelli IGT Veneto Passito Bianco Amabile del Cerè 2007 375ml

Quintarelli keeps the Veneto tradition of white passito wines alive with his Amabile del Cerè Bandito. Originally made as an accident, the sweet white wine made from botrytis-affected grapes (Garganega, Trebbiano, Saorin) has only been released a few times during the quintessential traditionalist’s lifetime. The gem is only created in great vintages and is then “banished” (as the name Bandito suggests) for a decade or so before making an appearance again. A bright, golden amber. Aromas of candied fruit are greeted on the palate by boundless layers of tropical fruit. Exceptional, seamless balance of tannins, acidity, and sweetness. Expect a marathon finish.
