This dessert wine is produced from the same grapes as the white wine Leverano Bianco DOC, meaning Malvasia Bianca (50-100%) and Bombino Bianco (0-40%), with the permitted addition of up to 30% other local, white grapes.
Before harvest, the grapes are subjected to drying on the vine, on crates or by dehydration through use of forced-air circulation in special rooms.
The result is a golden yellow to amber-yellow wine, with an intense scent and a characteristic, sweetish or sweet taste.
There is also a late harvested Leverano Bianco Passito Vendemmia Tardiva DOC.
Leverano Bianco Passito DOC is best enjoyed with desserts.
