    The grapes for one of the most elegant and ethereal Vin Santo wines in Chianti Classico are dried before being pressed, and then sealed in barrels for nine years. Paolo de Marchi calls it "lazy winemaking" and admits: "The blending process is actually the most challenging part, as every cask is different and, after tasting 10 casks, your palate starts to tire". The result is a very elegant and pure Vin Santo, displaying beguiling notes of candied fruit, honey and sweet spices. The balance between sweetness and acidity keeps the wine light, lively and refreshing, and it has a smoky edge on the finish. This is a superb Vin Santo, and although it has more than 200g/l of residual sugar, it is surprisingly light, refreshing and easy to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2011 is the last wine Paolo de Marchi produced before leaving Isole e Olena. Its slightly forward aromas reveal the richness and character of a warm year. Brown sugar, toffee, hazelnut, dried figs and spices gradually unfold in the glass." Vinous

    "Dried fig, date and molasses flavors are corralled by vivid acidity in this dessert white. A tangy, bitter walnut note emerges on the intense finish. Trebbiano and Malvasia." Wine Spectator

    "Amber in colour. Complex and mature, with notes of apricot jam, celery, dried figs, candied orange peel and a hint of rancio. The crisp, lively acidity balances the rich sweetness, with a full body and a long, very spicy finish featuring dried apricots. Not an easy wine, for connoisseurs only, but very good." James Suckling

    "A complex nose with delicate oxidative notes of tobacco and moss, dried herbs, followed by figs, dried apricots and jam. On the palate, it is more dry than sweet, with a beautifully balanced, long and lively mid-palate and a juicy, raisin-like finish with a hearty, mineral freshness. Pure elegance. A deep, mature sherry character." Decanter
