Last minute In Montefalco was born the National Center of Passito Wines

It was born in 2002 at Montefalco the National Center of Passito Wines, with the purpose to catalogue, to describe and to spread the culture of the passito wines in Italy. It's a typology of particular wines, from the difficult production and understanding. They have been recently discovered and slowly are trying to get out from the niche market. The passito wines constitute a precious point of view to understand the reality of vine of the territory of which they are expression, deriving often from autochthonous vines, and of different techniques of withering. One of the projects realised by the Centre have been the publication of the first Atlas of the Italian Passito Wines, a precious list of all the sweet and strong sweet wines of the peninsula. The passito wines are probably destined to be confined into a small segment of market, both because their production foresees a rigid selection of clusters and grapes, both because the final price inevitably results elevated. But their production remains a patrimony to defend and to jealously guard, so tied up to the territory, to its history and the wise the man's job.
