Okay, this is the second wine I'll like to introduce.
I wanted to share my experience with all of you about Bonotto Delle Tezze Raboso Passito. The first time I heard about this wine, I can't even memorize the name right. Then, coincidencely, on Chinese's New Year, the year of Dragon, my family had one of this black bottle of wine. When I carefully read it, it was BONOTTO DELLE! haha...
