Dedicated to Donna Plautilla A. ancestor of our family who lived in the second half of the eighteenth century (1759-1809) and dedicated to all the women of Montefalco, the true guardians of the Sagrantino Passito tradition. The women were entrusted with the task of detaching the Sagrantino grapes from the stalks, the “sbacatura” for the subsequent vinification and it was a job that was done by the fire after dinner, in the cold evenings of late autumn. Images of true poetry for a wine that is itself poetry. The harvest of Sagrantino destined for drying takes place in the first days of October and is very meticulous. The clusters are treated with extreme care because they absolutely must not break, they are placed in small boxes whose bottom is covered with a layer of vine leaves (vine leaves). Only suitable bunches are harvested, those with the most sparse berries that can better withstand the long drying period on the “Camorcanne”, racks where the bunches are placed side by side, without overlapping. The drying can last even more than two months, depending on the weather conditions. Once the right sugar content is reached, the vinification is the same as for other wines: temperature control, frequent pumping over, racking, soft pressing and racking. The final wine yield is very low, only 35% of the initial quantity of grapes. Unlike the Rosso and the dry Sagrantino it does not age in wood, but in steel barrels for a period of thirty-six months.

If you are looking to discover the beauty of sweet wines, then you are in 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 of all, we need to clarify what a sweet wine is. A sweet wine is a wine that contains a certain amount of sugar. This sugar can be added during fermentation or it can be added afterwards. The amount of sugar in sweet wine can vary from slightly sweet to very sweet. Sweet wines are often sweeter than dry wines because they contain more sugar.
Most Popular Sweet Wines
Sweet wines can be divided into three broad categories: dessert wines, sparkling wines and aromatised wines. Dessert wines are those that are sweeter and more aromatic, such as Port, Sherry, Muscat and Madeira. Sparkling wines are carbonated wines such as Champagne, sparkling Muscat, Prosecco and Cava. Aromatised wines are those with a fruity flavour, such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Grüner Veltliner.
How to Choose a Sweet Wine

If you are an expert, then you may want to explore rarer and more expensive wines such as a Port or Sherry.
How to Serve a Sweet Wine
If you have decided to try a sweet wine, it is important to serve it in the right way. Dessert wines should be served chilled, while sparkling and flavoured 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 larger dessert glasses, while sparkling and aromatised 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 can be paired with desserts, cheeses and meats. Sparkling wines can be paired with all kinds of dishes, from savoury to sweet. Aromatised wines are particularly versatile and can be paired with fish, meat and vegetable dishes.
