This Vin Santo is 100% Malvasia and see's a staggering 60 months in oak barrique's! Grapes are dried on racks before pressing. The color of this Vin Santo is a light amber with a sherry-like nose. Has almost a pastry cooked nose to it as well with loads of nuts. On the palate though it had a nice citrus note with more nuts. This thing covers your mouth with luscious mouth-feel and goodness. The wine is perfectly balanced and is amazing. The finish begs for you to put just a little more in your mouth. Leaves you wanting more.
