TASTING NOTE: The Ricossa family has been using grapes to make liquid treasure for over a century now, having established themselves as the owners of an award-winning distillery by the end of the 1800s. This effervescently easygoing semi-bubbly sweetie shows lovely peach, apricot, citrus, fresh flowers and honey notes. Chill well and sip with fresh fruit or ricotta cheesecake.
