Vino Santo and other Dessert wines

  
The rich nectar in wine grapes can be emphasized in a number ways. The Vin Santo of Italy is produced from air-dried grapes. The red Brachetto grape of northern Italy yields a lively, low alcohol, sparkling red wine that is delightful on its own as well as with chocolates and light desserts featuring berries. Dessert wines can also be produced from late harvested grapes that are left on the vine until they almost turn to raisins.
