Sweet Treat for Valentine's Day

2011 Tenuta Polvaro Dulcis

     Looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with your sweetie this Valentine's Day? I recently enjoyed a delightful Italian white wine that is perfect for your Valentine's Day dessert. I paired mine with biscotti and it was delicious!

     Povaro Tenuta Dulcis is a sweet wine made mainly from the native Italian grape Verduzzo Friulano and blended with other indigenous white grapes from the Veneto region. The sweetness of the wine is a result of  the harvesting process. In September the vines that carry the grapes are partially cut causing the plant and grapes to wither. The sugar is concentrated in the grape resulting in a sweet wine with a fresh acidity!

     Once you pour this delightful wine in the glass you will find aromas of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel with a bit of nuttiness. This fruity wine has tastes of honey and apricot. Pair it this Valentine's Day with pastries, sweets, almonds, and of course my favorite, biscotti!

Cheers,
Beth

Happy Valentine’s Day
