The 2004 Vin Santo San Laurentino is a unique dessert wine with a fascinating rainbow of aromas that spans from canned peach to dried mint. In between, you get toasted almond, oak, sweet caramel and candied fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025.
In my estimation, Marco Bacci’s Castello di Bossi delivers one of the absolute best interpretations of Chianti Classico from the Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer here on average and soils are slightly richer and redder. These conditions favor dark and powerful wines. The challenge is maintaining balance and freshness – things regularly achieved in Marco Bacci’s wines.
