Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà | Local Wine Appellation From Province of La Spezia, Italy | TasteAtlas

Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà

This amber-colored dessert wine is based on Bosco grapes, which must constitute at least 40% of the blend, while the other significant grape varieties include Albarola and Vermentino. The wine is produced with a passito method in which the grapes are air-dried before they are processed - which helps to concentrate natural sweetness and flavor in the wine. Sciacchetrà is a sweet and harmonious wine that usually displays aromas of honey, dried fruit, apricot jam, and herbs, with underlying notes of toffee and hazelnut.


Although it can be enjoyed on its own, it is a perfect match to traditional desserts, as well as aged cheese.
