Acclaim
The 1999 Vin San Laurentino is a sweet wine made from Sangiovese and Trebbiano. The fruit is dried for 5 months, and the wine is aged for eight years in small barrels. This gorgeous, creamy-textured wine shows superb depth and richness with remarkable complexity, yet remains light on its feet. Toffee, caramel, burnt sugar, dried fruits and mint are just some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from this seductive gem of a wine. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
