Caramel-coloured Vin Santo with intense aromas of toffee and dark chocolate, enriched with acacia honey and Mediterranean herbs. Notes of freesia, candied orange peel and French pastry. On the palate, this fascinating sweet wine reveals a mixture of fig, almond and lemon flavours, followed by roasted coffee beans. The perfect balance between acidity and sweetness leads to a sensual finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of dark raisins, chocolate and caramel followed by robust nutty and smoky notes. Very concentrated, sugary and syrupy. Dense and creamy with toffee and creme caramel notes." James Suckling

"Mocha and coffee combine with dried orange peel, black tea and rum-soaked cherry aromas as the 2011 Vin Santo di Montepulciano smolders in the glass. It's more lifted than expected and nearly juicy, with tinges of cocoa and autumnal spice. This is long and staining yet incredibly fresh, leaving cedar, cinnamon, black raisin and butterscotch notes to linger on the palate." Vinous

"Coffee, caramel, prune and bittersweet chocolate flavors pick up notes of pipe tobacco and molasses in this lush, velvety dessert wine. This is very sweet, with adequate but not vivid acidity for balance, offering fine concentration and length." Wine Spectator
