Avignonesi, Vin Santo di Montepulciano, 1991 (375ml) so062423 magnums for july 4th or poured across vanilla iceAvignonesi's Vin Santo is among Italy's most sought after sweet wines, and it's made the hard way: white grapes dried for months, then years of aging in tiny sealed caratelli with the estate's century old "madre" yeast, with much of the liquid lost to evaporation. The output is tiny and intensely concentrated. This 1991 is from a private collection and now fully mature, amber gold and resolved.
