Known as sabayon in France, where it is often made with Champagne, this foamy egg sauce is called zabaglione in Italy and made typically with Sicily’s marsala wine.
Dessert wines are typically made from late-harvested grapes that have accumulated very high amounts of sugar. Often, the grapes for such wines have also been dried, or raisinated, further concentrating the sugars. These sweet wines are pair well with sweet desserts or can be dessert on their own. Famous examples include Sauternes, from France and very late harvest Riesling wines from Germany.
