Tenuta Iuzzolini, 2018

Passito Bristace 2018

Passito Bristace 2018

Passito refers to the process of (partially) dried grapes with a high sugar content and high concentration. In this case, late-harvest Greco Bianco, which is aged for 12 months in French barriques after drying. This results in an elegantly sweet wine with delightful freshness and elements of honey, citrus, nuts, and a wonderfully light, lingering finish.

Meer over Tenuta Iuzzolini

Tenuta Iuzzolini is the estate of the now very elderly Fortunato Iuzzolini. In the 1970s, he left impoverished Calabria to work in Mercedes factories in Stuttgart. In his spare time, he began importing and distributing dried pasta like Barilla's, and managed to build up a small fortune.

His homeland kept calling, and once he had saved enough, he returned to buy old vineyards in his hometown of Cirò Marina.

His sons and daughters have now joined the company, and in 2005, a beautiful new winery was put into operation. Iuzzolini's wines have been in our assortment for many years, and they continue to show their depth and refinement.
