The 2002 Vin San Giusto is made from 90% Malvasia and 10% Trebbiano that is air dried for over four months prior to being vinified and aged in a combination of small oak barrels. The wine spends an incredible six years in oak, during which as much as 40% of the water evaporates, leaving a plush, soft dessert wine of incomparable elegance. Sweet spices, honey, plums, roasted coffee beans, maple syrup and dried flowers are just some of the nuances that flow from this rich, sumptuous wine. The Vin San Giusto comes in at an incredible 390 grams of residual sugar, far in excess of what is allowed for Vin Santo, hence its labeling as a proprietary sweet wine. As delicious as this is now, it also likely to be nearly immortal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030. San Giusto is one of the pearls of Italy. This small, family-run property is a great source for hand-made, artisan wines that reflect the best of the Tuscan vigneron spirit. Simply put, I was blown away by most of these new releases.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
