A favorite wine of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, 15th century "general for hire" who after losing his right eye to a sword blow, had the bridge of his nose removed to restore enough field of vision to avoid assassination attempts, vino di Visciole marries the syrup of sugar-soaked sour cherries with ripe red wine, the re-fermented result of which is a wine like no other. Astounding!
