      Tasting notes :

      A simply gorgeous and unique wine from passito Ribolla grapes. It's glowing, tawny amber with an inviting complex nose that expresses dates, coffee, toffee, and raisins. To taste, there's the lovely intensity with incredible flavor, silky and luscious texture, succulent orange zest, sultana, dried apricot, and fig, supported by beautiful acidity and an incredibly long finish.
      Food matching ideas: We recommend it with caramel desserts, walnuts, chocolate or dried fruit, Slovenian Potica, blue cheese, Tête de Moine cheese, or alone as a glass of wine while relaxing, maybe with a good cigar.
