The Il Poggione 2009 Sant'Antimo Vin Santo Riserva (in a 500-milliliter bottle) is not cloying or too viscous. In fact, the wine is surprisingly lithe and elegant in the glass with its characteristic Vin Santo aromas of candied fruit, caramel, toasted almond and maple syrup. It feels light and approachable on the palate with mid-weight creaminess.

Il Poggione's 2007 Sant'Antimo Vin Santo Riserva (packaged in a 500-milliliter bottle) shows a light gold appearance with some faint amber intensity. The bouquet reveals signs of evolution with butterscotch and caramel followed by honey and burnt sugar. However, the fruit is still there with layers of dried apricot and white raisin. This Vin Santo represents a blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia, and the grapes are left to dry for 90 days. It ages for 10 years in small caratelli barrels. This is a medium-weight dessert wine to pair with lady finger or cream pastries. Only 2,800 bottles were made, and they were released in April 2019.

The 2003 Sant’Antimo IL Poggione Vin Santo does an excellent job of showing Vin Santo aromas of candied fruit, caramel, roasted chestnut and grilled herb. It’s a light and easygoing expression that is a pleasure to drink with dried tarts or biscuits. Drink: 2014-2022. Importer: Terlato Wines International, www.terlatowines.com
