The Stravecchio Perpetuo Secco is a dessert wine made from Grillo and Catarratto that can be drunk well as a meditation wine or with smoking a cigar.

This wine is classified 'vino liquoroso a denominazione d'origine controllata' and originates in the province of Trapani, in the areas of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo. The area has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters, low rainfall and a very warm, well-ventilated summer. The soil is of medium density, slightly clayey and located at low altitude near the sea. The grape harvest is carried out using traditional, manual methods. Grillo and Catarratto grape varieties are used for this wine. During the late fermentation phase, pure wine alcohol is added until the optimal concentration is reached. This wine is then aged for more than 25 years in 80- and 50-hl oak barrels. With an alcohol content of 19% vol, this wine has an aged golden colour. The intense aroma is spicy and reminiscent of dried figs and carob, with distinct notes of hazelnuts and almonds. The taste is dry and very long-lasting. The wine goes excellently with hard and spiced cheeses and dried fruits. This wine is also exquisite when enjoying Tuscan cigars and can serve as an excellent meditation wine. To get the best taste experience, it is recommended to serve this wine in a dessert glass at a temperature between 10° - 12° C. For optimal storage, it is recommended to keep this wine at a constant temperature of 16° C and under controlled light.
