FEATURES
🏰 Avignonesi's Vin Santo is a legendary Tuscan dessert wine, produced with a unique 'madre' yeast passed down through generations, resulting from an exceptionally long aging process where over half the liquid evaporates, making it incredibly concentrated and rare. This 1987 vintage, a true testament to time, offers a profound journey through tertiary aromas and flavors. Expect a velvety texture with notes of 【toasted nuts, honey, dried figs, and candied orange peel】, softened by hints of caramel, walnut husk, nutmeg, and sweet tobacco leaf. The palate balances luscious sweetness with refreshing acidity, leading to an incredibly long and sensual finish.
🍴 This exquisite Vin Santo traditionally pairs beautifully with Tuscan almond biscotti (cantucci), rich Ricciarelli, or spiced Panforte. For a more adventurous pairing, consider soft cheeses like Pecorino or Brie, dark chocolate desserts, dried figs and apricots, quince preserves, or even blue cheese and foie gras.
🥂 A magnificent meditation wine, perfect for special celebrations, intimate gatherings, or as a luxurious digestif after a fine meal. This 1987 vintage, being quite old, will offer a unique journey through tertiary aromas and flavors. Expect delicate notes of aged honey, dried fruits, and complex nutty undertones. Be mindful of the cork and capsule, which may be fragile due to its age. Serve at a coolish temperature, ideally 6-12°C (43-54°F). Decanting is not necessary. Use a small dessert wine glass or a narrow tulip-shaped glass to concentrate aromas.
