Graduate cherished last sweet wine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barolo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'graduate cherished last sweet' is the wordplay.
'graduate' becomes 'BA' (someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree).
'cherished last sweet' becomes 'rolo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ba'+'rolo'='BAROLO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for barolo that I've seen is " Wine".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
