What is a meditation wine? For Veronelli, it was a wine to drink alone not to pair with food, and not to drink with someone else a wine you could, through contemplation of each sip, create a deep, even spiritual connection with. Veronelli didn t intend the term to mean dessert wines specifically he meant any wine, red or white, still or sparkling, dry or sweet, that could achieve this effect. But for better or worse, the phrase is most often applied to the profoundly complex dessert wines of Italy, notably Tuscan vin santos, which are made by drying Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes (typically) on straw mats for months before making them into wine.
