Botromagno 2001 Gravisano Passito Malvasia Bianca (Murgia)
- $30
Apricot, peach cobbler, sticky honey, white flower and macadamia nut color a seductively sweet wine from Puglia, the heel of the Italian “boot.” Thanks to strong sunshine and cooling breezes, Malvasia grapes lose their water mass, resulting in rich concentration and intense fragrances.

Botromagno 2000 Gravina White (Apulia)
- Best Buy
- $9
Named for the town in Apulia from which it comes, this wine mixes Greco di Tufo and Malvasia. Apple, pear, cinnamon and floral elements combine on the nose. On the palate, there is solid weight, tangy acidity and a velvety texture. The finish persists with apple and cinnamon presiding. Would go well with shellfish. Best Buy.

Botromagno 2000 Passito di Malvasia Gravisano White (Puglia)
- $30
Toasted walnuts, almond paste and dried fruit merge nicely, leaving a velvety smooth trail in the mouth. This wine is a powerhouse despite the higher sugar content, which should soften the effects of 15% alcohol.
