This product has no valid combination.
L'Ecru Passito is a wine that captures the essence of the Sicilian sun and terroir. Made from 100% Zibibbo, also known as Muscat d'Alexandrie, this wine is produced using the traditional passito method, in which the grapes are first dried naturally to concentrate their sugars and aromas. The wine has a brilliant, deep golden-yellow colour with amber glints that reflect the concentration and ripeness of the grapes. The aromatic profile is intense and opulent, with refined scents of orange peel, dried apricots, honey and exotic fruit such as mango and papaya. Subtle hints of jasmine, Mediterranean herbs and vanilla further underline the wine’s complexity. On the palate L'Ecru is velvety and harmonious, with a perfect balance between natural sweetness and refreshing acidity. The concentrated fruit flavours are complemented by notes of almond, caramel and a light spiciness. The long finish leaves a refined trail of honey and citrus, so the wine never feels too heavy or cloying.
Delicious with desserts featuring citrus or almond, such as cannoli or Sicilian cassata. Also an excellent match for blue-veined cheeses or foie gras.
