Passito Gemma del Sole Calabria IGT (500ml)- Ippolito

Gemma del Sole Passito – Ippolito 1845

THE SUN'S ESSENCE IN A GLASS

Gemma del Sole by Ippolito 1845 is a refined dessert wine made from sun-dried Greco Bianco grapes, traditionally laid on racks for 40 days to enhance natural sugars and aromas. The must undergoes gentle pressing and matures for 12 months in fine oak barriques, acquiring depth and complexity.

It reveals a brilliant topaz color. The bouquet is rich and layered, with notes of candied orange peel, dried figs, wildflower honey, and soft spice hints. On the palate, it’s sweet yet balanced, with vibrant acidity that lifts its structure and a lingering, enveloping finish.

Perfect with nut-based desserts, shortcrust pastries, or aged blue cheeses. A wine for special moments, designed for slow sipping and thoughtful pleasure.
