Maqaràt Organic Passito Moscato – 500ml

Description

The Maqaràt Passito from Tenuta San Giaime is a “heroic” wine born in the isolated, wild heart of the Alte Madonie, a unique territory where organic Moscato grapes ripen inland until they reach a golden color. The name recalls one of the earliest settlements of old Gangi, testifying to a strong bond with the past.

Thanks to unique soil and climate conditions and the choice to grow without herbicides, fertilizers or chemical treatments, the Alte Madonie stand out as a healthy territory that passes on excellent qualities to its products. The unspoiled environment, with free-roaming bees and pastures, has led some to hypothesize that this area could be the planet’s “Sixth Blue Zone,” joining the prestigious club of the world’s longest-living regions.
