Vin Santo del Chianti - Occhio di Pernice - Riserva 2016 - (375 ml)
Piandaccoli - Tuscany
This Vin Santo is a cherished creation, embodying the tradition and authenticity of Tuscan country life. This nectar preserves the heritage. Amber in color, it presents aromas of honey, dried figs, apricot, and candied fruit. On the palate, it starts with a notable sugary impact that transforms into a pleasant fresh sensation, leaving the palate clean with a long persistence. Perfect with desserts, biscuits, pastries, blue cheeses, and very aged cheeses. Ideal with Prato cantucci and crostini ai fegatini.
Massively, deliciously sweet. A splendid dessert wine.
