Passito Tachis

A true challenge: Gewürztraminer and Sémillon, two uncommon vines for Sicily, yet selected by Giacomo Tachis and used in equal proportions to bring to life a passito wine atypical for the island. Sémillon on its own would be too sugary. The Gewürztraminer, with its acidity, perfectly balances the wine, leaving the mouth clean. Label drawn by Gianfranco Ferrè.

Tasting Notes

Aromatic notes and a perfect acidity stand out. A product characterized by balanced flavors, with the perfect sweetness and offering clear hints of dried fruit, honey and rose.

Food Pairing

Great with various desserts, also pairs well with mild cheeses.
