Lot #4399. Ferrandes Passito di Pantelleria 2013

Description: Consists of 9 Half Bottles, 0.375L
Score: 96 WA.
"This expression from Pantelleria shows a dark amber color with some darkened ruby highlights. The unoaked 2013 Passito di Pantelleria (in a tall and thin 375-milliliter bottle) is a precious wine made in extreme conditions with fruit laid out to dry in the sun and wind. The bouquet is evolved and oxidative in the most careful manner with brown sugar and maple syrup. The wine shows a rich, honey-like texture in the mouth. This wine is a splendor. Take me to Pantelleria now, with its black volcanic rock beaches and omnipresent caper bushes. Production numbers land between 4,000 and 5,000 bottles per year." Monica Larner, Wine Advocate Interim, Oct 2019
Provenance: The Betulla Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $120
