Vino45 Special Wines: A Journey Through Sweetness, Tradition and Character

Discover the refined world of Special Wines on Vino45 — an extraordinary universe where history, craftsmanship, and passion merge into a unique sensory experience. From dessert wines to fortified and aromatized wines, every bottle embodies the magic of time, terroir, and centuries-old winemaking traditions that enhance complexity and elegance.

Special Wines are the perfect companions for your most memorable moments: a glass to enjoy with desserts, cheeses, or quiet contemplation. Each sip unveils aromas, flavors, and traditions passed down through generations.

Dessert Wines (Passiti): the essence of natural sweetness. Made from grapes dried under the sun or in ventilated rooms, they concentrate sugars and aromas for rich, harmonious wines. Perfect with dry pastries, dark chocolate, blue cheeses, and foie gras. Iconic examples include Vin Santo from Tuscany, Recioto della Valpolicella, Passito di Pantelleria, and Ice Wine from Germany or Canada.

Fortified Wines: the strength of tradition. By adding alcohol during fermentation, these wines gain body, power, and exceptional longevity. From the Portuguese Port to Sicilian Marsala and Spanish Sherry, they express layers of caramel, dried fruits, spices, and toasted notes, perfect for sipping alone or pairing with rich desserts.

Aromatized Wines: the allure of Vermouth, born in Piedmont and now a global icon of mixology, elevating cocktails like the Negroni, Manhattan, and Americano. Elegant and versatile, Vermouth embodies timeless Italian style and taste.

On Vino45, each Special Wine is carefully selected to showcase the best of winemaking heritage and offer unique tasting experiences for discerning wine lovers.
