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 sultanas, chocolate and caramel, followed by strong nutty and smoky notes. Very concentrated, sugary and syrupy. Dense and creamy with notes of toffee and caramel cream." James Suckling

"Mocha and coffee combine with flavours of dried orange peel, black tea and rum-soaked cherries as the Vin Santo di Montepulciano 2011 melts in the glass. It is more airy than expected and almost juicy, with hints of cocoa and autumnal spices. It is long and colourful, yet incredibly fresh, leaving notes of cedar, cinnamon, black sultanas and butterscotch on the palate." Vinous

"Flavours of coffee, caramel, plum and dark chocolate take on notes of pipe tobacco and molasses in this lush, velvety dessert wine. It is very sweet, with appropriate but not lively acidity that provides balance and offers fine concentration and length." Wine Spectator

"Immediately inviting on the nose, with very refined aromas of acacia honey, bright red berries and a hint of orange peel and spice. Vibrant impact and great concentration on the palate, with racy sugar-acid tension and a long, complex aromatic finish. Full of energy." Decanter
