Echi di Zoccoli d’Ashino (“The Footfall of the Donkey”) is an unusual dessert wine made from dried Koshu grapes that are gently pressed and fermented in old oak barrels. The drying process intensifies the flavors in the grape, and adds a pleasing caramel note. Rich, honeyed and deeply satisfying, this ultra-sweet wine is a beautiful grace note to an evening of fine dining, especially when paired with a nut tart or dried fruit.
