That is, as many would say that you should NOT write a wine technical sheet.
But that's how I wrote it, straight off, drinking Albamarina side B, telling what is really important in wine: emotion.
Have you tried Albamarina 2012 yet?
Well done, it's a good wine, I'm sure you liked it.
Now the "B side" comes out. Side B are 10 hectoliters of Catarratto passito 2012 that I had decided to throw away.
As I always do when I do something new and my mom disagrees (basically ALL of the time), I said to her: Mom, what do you care? If it doesn't turn out good, we throw it away – or sell it in bulk. She is not very convinced, but after a few days of discussions she finally lets me do it (thanks mom).
So: I left 15 hectoliters (yes, 15, then I'll explain) of passito in overfilled barrels, hoping for the fioretta to come, for another 18 months. INCREDIBLY, this wine, despite having been sulphited (and don't ask me how it's possible, because I don't know either) continued to ferment very slowly for another 18 months, until from the initial 13.5 it reached an alcohol content of 15% vol – a little more actually, but we don't tell anyone, okay?
At some point it FINALLY came out good.
But no normal good, just good.
So: the B side. I took 10 hectoliters and bottled it (which is what you can now find on #vgm) and kept the other 5 in strictly full barrels to make a perpetual one. Which, when it's good, is the best thing in the world of wine.
PERPETUAL IS WINE - if you don't believe it, call De Bartoli. But the perpetual, if it turns out good, we'll talk about it in 5/6 years.
For the moment there is the B side.

Discover the Delight of Sweet Wines: A Journey for Your Senses
Sweet wines can be a true delight for the senses. The way sweet wine touches your taste buds and nostrils with its rich aromas will make you feel like you're in heaven. The magic of sweet wines is unique and is becoming increasingly popular among consumers seeking a unique sensory experience. If you're looking to discover the beauty of sweet wines, then you've come to the right place. This article will explore some of the best sweet wines and how to choose the right one for you.
What is a Sweet Wine?
First, we need to clarify what a sweet wine is. A sweet wine is one that contains a certain amount of sugar. This sugar can be added during fermentation or later. The amount of sugar in sweet wine can range from slightly sweet to very sweet. Sweet wines are often sweeter than dry wines because they contain more sugar.
The Most Popular Sweet Wines
Sweet wines can be divided into three broad categories: dessert wines, sparkling wines, and aromatized wines. Dessert wines are sweeter and more aromatic, such as Port, Sherry, Muscat, and Madeira. Sparkling wines are carbonated wines such as Champagne, Moscato Frizzante, Prosecco , and Cava. Aromatized wines are fruit-forward, such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Grüner Veltliner.
How to Choose a Sweet Wine
If you're interested in trying a sweet wine, there are a few things to consider. First, you need to decide whether you want a dessert wine, a sparkling wine, or an aromatized wine. You'll also need to consider your budget and personal tastes. If you're a beginner, you might want to start with a less expensive and less sweet wine, like a Moscato or Riesling. If you're an expert, you might want to explore rarer and more expensive wines like a Port or Sherry.
How to Serve a Sweet Wine
If you've decided to try a sweet wine, it's important to serve it properly. Dessert wines should be served chilled, while sparkling and aromatized wines should be served at room temperature. The right temperature for a sweet wine varies depending on the type of wine, so be sure to read the labels before serving. Dessert wines should be served in wider dessert glasses, while sparkling and aromatized wines should be served in wine glasses.
How to Pair a Sweet Wine
One of the advantages of sweet wines is that they can be paired with many different dishes. Dessert wines pair well with desserts, cheeses, and meats. Sparkling wines can be paired with all types of dishes, from savory to sweet. Aromatized wines are particularly versatile and can be paired with fish, meat, and vegetable dishes.
Conclusion
Sweet wines are a fun and relaxing way to enjoy a meal or an evening. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, there's a sweet wine to suit your needs. Remember to choose the right wine for your meal, serve it at the right temperature, and pair it properly. If you follow these steps, you're sure to enjoy the delights of sweet wines.
