Passito from Lipari

The last year I have not drank so much sweet wine but now I had the chance to try a passito wine from the island of Lipari north of Sicily. Passito wine is a sweet wine made from dried grapes.The wine is Colosi from 2007. It is made of Malvasia grapes and the colour is deep amber.. The taste is very strong and so wonderful. Almost like a passito di Pantelleria. Excellent wine.

The wine La Frosca from producer Gini in Soave is from 2013. The colour is yellow and the smell is good. It is made of the grape Garganega. The taste is good and has a good aftertaste. Very nice.

Returning to Sicily for the wine Planeta Carricante which is made of the grape carricante. This wine comes from  the wineyard Sciara Nuovo on the north side of the Volcano Etna. It is on 870 meters of height and produces according to Planeta ageworthy white wines. The wine is from 2011 and he smell is good. The taste is almost like an excellent riesling. It has a fresh mineral style with tastes of apples. An excellent wine.

Malvasia della Lipari 2004

Lipari is an island north of Sicily and a wine shop in Bologna recomended this passito wine from Lipari as an alternative to the passito wines from Pantelleria.
Passito di Salina 2004 from Lipari made from Malvasia grapes tastes good. Not as strong taste as the Pantelleria wines I have tasted before. Maybe it is the lower alcohol level of 12% that makes the difference? I like it and I wish I could find it in Sweden.
