Expert Reviews

Scaccomatto (“checkmate” in Italian) is an extraordinary synthesis between muffa nobile (botrytis) and the Albana grape native to Romagna, on the Adriatic flank of Italy. Aromas are immediate and intense and recall peach, honey, dried flowers and natural rubber. A silky, rich mouthfeel is backed by perfect sweetness and cooling acidity.
