It appears with a clear amber colour and notable consistency. The bouquet is distinguished by intense notes of honey, caramel, vanilla sugar and cloves. On the palate, it is enveloping, offering a \u003cstrong\u003emeasured sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e that is never cloying, enhanced by a long finish reminiscent of orange blossom. This structural balance makes it ideal for pairing with traditional fried ricotta ravioli with honey, and it also creates excellent flavour contrasts with \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003eBasso Sulcis\u003c\/strong\u003e area, a region of Sardinia particularly suited to viticulture. The Nasco vines are cultivated using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ebush-trained system\u003c\/strong\u003e on soils characterised by \u003cstrong\u003eloose, sandy earth\u003c\/strong\u003e, elements that ensure a defined and concentrated expression of the fruit. Harvesting takes place between the end of September and the end of October to encourage over-ripening on the vine. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, demonstrating the deep care the Santadi winegrowers dedicate to their vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with meticulous selection in the vineyard, carried out in several stages to pick only the bunches that have reached the correct level of over-ripeness. After separation from the skins, the must, with its high sugar content, is sent for \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process proceeds very slowly and stops spontaneously, preserving the natural sweetness of the grapes. Maturation is completed with a few months' rest in \u003cstrong\u003ethird-use French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a delicate \u003cstrong\u003ewood ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e that enhances its aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Latinia Passito from Cantina Santadi is a true gem of Sulcis, celebrating the winemaking tradition of Sardinia. Made from \u003cstrong\u003elate-harvest Nasco grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, hand-picked by selecting only the overripe bunches, this elegant amber nectar matures in French barriques to achieve its fullest aromatic expression. The 2019 vintage, awarded \u003cstrong\u003e90 points by James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, releases intoxicating aromas of honey, caramel and vanilla. On the palate, it is enveloping and balanced, offering a \u003cstrong\u003esweetness that is never cloying\u003c\/strong\u003e and a long finish with notes of orange blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Santadi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44512347717803,"sku":"48052","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/santadi-latinia-passito-0-375l-2019_48052_1_79e0bb72-cb8c-4023-a58a-3e748ce57df5.webp?v=1773720729","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/santadi-latinia-passito-0-375l-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
