Passito Eneo:
It’s an old wine that becomes actual with a modern system of drying on the plant of grapes Moscato of Noto that with its explosive aromas of exotic fruit, jasmine and candied citrus, it is a complex wine but easy to love. Our Passito Oeneus grows in vines of Gela, to the south of Sicily thanks to its hot, dry summers allows to obtain grapes with a high concentration of sugars and aromas.
Passito Eneo it’s connected with one of the characters of Greek mythology, Oeneus the ruler of Calydon, remembered for have introduced the practice of winemaking in Aetolia. When Dionysus came to Calydon, Eneo, with great hospitality, he authorized him to sleep with his wife Altea. From their union was born Deianira. Dionysus refunded Oeneus giving it a vine plant, and teaching him the art of viticulture Passito is the ideal companion of the great Sicilian tradition of sweets and ice cream.
