Passivento Barone Montalto 2024 IGT Terre Siciliane Red Wine

Passivento Rosso  from Cantina Montalto, a full-bodied wine that lends itself to meditation and good company

The Passivento Terre Siciliane IGT red wine produced by Barone Montalto in the Santa Ninfa area. The result of the careful selection of the best grapes of the wine, it expresses the most typical aspects of the enology of its land, with a broad and persistent character.

The particular vinification method used is the Passivento® Method, which involves the partial drying of the grapes starting directly in the vineyard and then completing in the fruit cellar, where the skilful control of ventilation helps the grapes to reach the ideal level of dehydration before pressing.

The result is a dark and intense red wine. Opulent on the nose with notes of caramelized figs and ripe fruit. With an important body, balanced both in roundness and persistence.

Perfect to combine with important courses, with strong flavors, such as game, stews and aged cheeses. Despite its remarkable structure, this wine lends itself to meditation and good company.
