The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo presents a captivating amber-mahogany hue, hinting at its prolonged aging, with no discernible effervescence. Its aroma is a complex tapestry of dried figs, toasted almonds, and a whisper of dried orange peel, interwoven with subtle notes of honey and a gentle balsamic undertone.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it unfolds with a rich, viscous texture, delivering concentrated flavors of candied apricot, marzipan, and a profound oxidative character that speaks of its Tuscan heritage. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant, leaving a lingering sweetness balanced by a bracing acidity that prevents it from becoming cloying. This Vin Santo finds its perfect harmony with biscotti di Prato, aged Pecorino Toscano cheese, or as a contemplative digestif after a hearty meal. It also shines alongside rich fruit tarts or a classic crème brûlée.
