Botrys is a full-bodied passito with concentrated sweetness, honey, and candied stone fruits such as peach, apricot, and fig, and its 14.5% alcohol gives it enough power to meet rich dishes. It works best when the dessert is a little less sweet than the wine itself, so that the sweetness and the underlying acidity can balance each other rather than leaving the wine dull. The dried and candied fruit notes play up against fruit and nut desserts, while the sweetness creates a classic contrast to the salt and richness of foie gras and robust cheeses.

About the wine
Botrys Moscadello Di Montalcino is Mastrojanni's passito. It is made from a blend of Moscato, Malvasia di Candia, and Sauvignon Blanc. The passito matures for 24 months in barriques, followed by 12 months in the bottle in the estate's cellar.
In the glass, Botrys presents with a beautiful deep and clear golden color. The aroma has notes of light muscat and apricot jam with a sweet honey finish. The taste is of fruit syrup and candied fruits like peach, apricot, and fig.
Best served in white wine glasses, at a temperature of 12-14 degrees Celsius.
It becomes possibly even better with age.
This is a very limited production of 1300 bottles (375ml).
