Chateau/Producer:San Felice
Wine Name:Vin Santo del Chianti Classico
Country:Italy
State:Tuscany
AOC:Vin Santo
Region:Siena
Wine Score:85
Notes:I believe that this was a good example of a Vin Santo, but tasting this confirmed for me that I don't really care too much for Vin Santo. For a dessert wine, I want something sweeter. Its color was pale gold, and it had a wonderful nose of strong honey, with brown sugar, and a hint of peach. I found that the burn of alcohol masked the more subtle flavors, and I definitely wanted more sweetness than there was--though that has been my experience so far with these wines, so that's more my preference than any sort of flaw. The price listed is for a half-bottle.
Tasting Date:2005-05-05
Varietal:Trebbiano, Malvasia
Production Notes:Trebbiano 75%, Malvasia 25%. The grapes are picked and left to dry on matting called paglie (straw mats) and are then squeezed
in December or January. The grape must ferments and is refined for 5 years in caratelli, small barrels of 225 litres.
