Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Vin Santo shows an intense amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow, transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of raisin, dried fig and apricot jams followed by aromas of honey, candied fruits, almond, nail polish, citrus fruit peel, sandal wood, tamarind and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and smooth attack, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of dried fig, honey, apricot jam and almond. This Vin Santo ferments and ages in ``caratelli'' barrels for at least 5 years.
