It is not a fortified wine like Marsala or Port, but owes its intensity and alcohol content (around 13-14% vol.) to the natural concentration of sugars in sun-dried grapes. It is an elegant Passito, modern in its approach but faithful to the spirit of southeastern Sicily.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 2024 vintage in Sicily was characterized by a warm and breezy climate, ideal for the complete maturation of Moscato Bianco grapes.
