    We had to buy another bottle of sciacchetra (shah-kay-TRAH).

    Sciacchetrà is a sweet wine produced in the rugged hills of the Cinque Terre region in Italy. This exquisite dessert wine is made from a combination of Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino grapes that are left to dry on racks after harvest. The drying process concentrates the flavors and sugars, resulting in a luscious, amber-colored wine with rich notes of dried fruits, honey, and floral undertones. Sciacchetrà is typically enjoyed on special occasions and pairs beautifully with desserts and aged cheeses. It is a true expression of the unique terroir and winemaking traditions of the Cinque Terre region, and a delight for wine enthusiasts seeking a taste of Italian excellence.Read more
