Description
Isole e Olena's 2004 Vin Santo is an iconic benchmark among great Tuscan dessert wines. Produced according to traditional Chianti Classico methods, this rare wine is crafted from grapes dried for 3 months on straw mats and then aged for 11 years in small barrels known as caratelli. Under the guidance of Paolo De Marchi, the estate has produced a Vin Santo of remarkable depth, combining richness, freshness, and a controlled oxidative complexity.
The deep amber color heralds a wine of great intensity. The nose reveals complex aromas of candied fruits, dried apricot, dried currants, honey, light caramel, and candied orange, complemented by notes of walnut, blond tobacco, sweet spices, and wood.
On the palate, the wine impresses with its balance between richness and freshness. The texture is dense, velvety, and persistent, supported by a fine acidity that avoids any heaviness. The long, elegant finish develops nuances of dried fruits, coffee, spices, and candied citrus zest.
