De Stefani 2005 Refrontolo Passito Marzemino (Colli di Conegliano)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Aged three years in oak, this ruby red dessert wine (made with air-dried Marzemino grapes) would pair with fudge brownies with chopped walnuts inside. Soft and succulent, it follows through with dark fruit, leather, licorice and cherry liqueur. It doesn’t have the bitterness you sometimes get with sweet red wines.
