Your Italian wine rack won’t be complete without some sweet wines that will complement the desserts at the end of any Italian menu.

Originally produced by the farmers for their own use, these wines are now again in fashion and they enjoy new popularity.

Vernaccia di Serrapetrona

Often fine Italian sparkling wines are white and dry but this Vernaccia is red and comes from a local grape variety that can be found only in the Serrapetrona area.

Ruby colored, not too sweet with a red fruit taste, the Vernaccia goes with fruits, fruit tarts and the dryer version can also accompany cheeses and local salami.

Vino Cotto Ascolano

This wine is obtained by concentrating the grape juice and age it in small barrels.

Made since antiquity by the farmers of the Loro Piano area, has lately been rediscovered and its rarity makes it precious.

Vino di Visciole

Visciole are wild cherries. They are picked in the summer, fermented first with sugar and then in the autumn again with the grape juice.

The result is a red, slightly sparkling wine with a distinct aroma of red fruits and of a strong ruby red color.
