The 2006 Vin Santo del Chianti shows some of the more oxidative aromas and flavors that are typical of Vin Santo on a medium-bodied frame with moderate sweetness. Burnt sugar, figs, spices and tobacco are woven together nicely. The Vin Santo is predominantly Malvasia and Trebbiano, with a dollop of Grechetto and Sangiovese. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
