Ansaldo "Sciactrac" 1964 Cinque Terre Rosso
Sciactrac (or Sciacchetrà) is a traditional sweet wine from the beautiful northwest Italian coastal micro-region of Cinque Terre. The wine is made from the white grapes of the Bosco, Albarola (Trebbiano), Vermentino and other local white grapes; all dried on straw mats to concentrate the natural flavours and grape sugars, then pressed and partially fermented with moderate to high residual sugars.
Unusually for this uncommon wine, this Sciacchetrà is a red wine. The black grape, Dolcetto, is commonly used for other local red wines, so possibility is that it was used for the production of this wine too.
