Passito is the Italian term for wines made from grapes that have been dried in the open air and sunshine, and become almost raisin-like. We allow this process to take place mostly in the vineyard – that is, the grapes remain on the vine until the end of the year. The elegant Passito Comtess is delightful: it has intense fruit, soft and creamy body, and a long finish that lingers on the palate with racy, fresh acidity. The youthful, fresh flavors become increasingly complex with the right bottle aging, gradually evolving into muted notes of honey.
