Notes from critics

This is a classic Italian Vin Santo that really demonstrates what great Vin Santo is all about.

A mixture of caramel, dried fig, orange peel, molasses and roasted walnut flavors permeates this lean, intense Vin Santo. Vibrant and mouthwatering on the long aftertaste. Really stays with you. Trebbiano and Malvasia. Drink now through 2040.

The organic Badia a Coltibuono 2015 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico (in a 375-milliliter bottle) shows a shiny dark amber color with aromas of brown sugar, canned fruit, sweet wood and cedar. This precious dessert wine is made from equal parts Trebbiano and Malvasia and boasts a caramelized flavor profile and a rich, glossy finish. The fruit is air-dried, and the wine ages in tiny barrels for seven long years.
