Comtess 2022 St. Valentin ST.MICHAEL 375ml

Passito Comtess
Sanct Valentin
Passito is the Italian term for wines that are made from air- and sun-dried, almost rosined grapes. This usually takes place in our vineyard, i.e. the grapes remain on the
vine until the end of the year. The elegant Passito Comtess delights with intense fruit, a creamy-soft body, with a long finish and flatters the palate with racy-fresh acidity.
The youthful, fresh aromas become increasingly complex with proper bottle ageing and gradually fade into subtle honey notes.
