Grechetto, Malvasia Toscana, Trebbiano Toscano
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧✭

A wine of extraordinary magnificence. This Vin Santo di Montepulciano shows a pale mahogany color and nuances of amber yellow, little transparency. The nose reveals very intense, clean, pleasing, refined, elegant and virtually endless aromas of fig jam, raisin and honey followed by an impressive aromatic sequence of vanilla, date, tobacco, ginger, prune, almond, citrus fruit peel, nail polish, caramel, beeswax and coffee. The mouth has a perfect correspondence to the nose, a sweet and velvety attack, very smooth and thick, perfectly balanced by alcohol and a very pleasing crispness, full body, very intense flavors, of endless complexity and agreeability. The finish is very persistent, virtually endless, with very long and incredible flavors of fig jam, honey, prune, raisin and caramel. A wine of magnificent elegance, monumental. Vin Santo di Montepulciano is produced with grapes dried for 6 months and ages for 10 years in caratelli followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
