Roy and The NYC Gang do Italy (La Grolla): this is recioto from white grapes. dark "amber" color - simmilar to vin santo (i am guessing the process is not dissimilar). honey, caramel. Less acidity than i prefer in sweet wines but its not meant to be that way - this is delicious and unique wine. Perfect for biscotti dunking or a simmilar dry desert. Italy is not too heavy on deserts - i think this suits classical italian understanding of what desert is. Biscotti, fruit and this wine.
