The 1999 Vin Santo is an unctuous wine, loaded with the essence of dried prunes, figs, spices, leather and tobacco. It is one of the more concentrated, full-bodied Vin Santos on the market. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. This is another set of top-notch releases from proprietor Giovanni Manetti and long-time consulting oenologist Franco Bernabei. Unfortunately as we go to press the 2006 Chianti Classico is still in barrel awaiting final assembling and bottling. I tasted various lots in barrel, though, and the wine is very promising. I will add a tasting note to our website, www.erobertparker.com as soon as I have an opportunity to taste the finished wine. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907

Caramel in color with golden highlights, this Vin Santo is delectably sweet with a pretty ensemble of aromas from butterscotch and honey to chestnut and dried fruit. It boasts a chewy, tasty mouthfeel and a sweet, long-lasting finish. It’s probably better to pair it with a cigar or pipe than with food.——M.L.(3/1/2008)—— 94
