MORE ABOUT THIS:
Straw wine, or raisin wine, is a wine made from grapes that have been dried to concentrate their juice. The result is similar to that of the ice wine process, but suitable for warmer climates. The classic method dries clusters of grapes on mats of straw in the sun, but some regions dry them under cover, some hang up the grapes, and the straw may be replaced by modern racks. The technique dates back to pre-Roman times
In Italy, the generic name for these wines is passito. The method of production is called rasinate (to dry and shrivel). The Passito di Pantelleria is one of the most famouses; Other famous passitos include Vin Santo in Tuscany, Recioto and Amarone around Verona, and Sciachetrà from the Cinque terre east of Genoa.
