Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Vin Santo di Montepulciano shows a brilliant amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow, transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of raisin, dried fig and almond followed by aromas of honey, candied fruit, citrus fruit peel, quince jam, peach jam, nail polish and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and round attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of raisin, honey and dried fig. This Vin Santo di Montepulciano ages for 3 years in small oak barrels.
