Vino alla mandorla

Almond-flavored wine is a Sicilian specialty that usually combines almond essence with white or occasionally red Sicilian wines. Typically, these dessert wines are also infused with herbs, spices, and citrus zest and are usually fortified with spirits.

The final result is a dense and concentrated wine that is quite intense and aromatic. It has a subtly bitter finish and the unmistakable almond flavor reminiscent of amaretto. Vino alla mandorla is often paired with desserts, and it can be incorporated in different sweets.
