2008 Fontodi Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 375ml Though assertiveWhat a magical wine. This rare wine of Chianti is made from Malvasia and Sangiovese, the production is very VERY tiny of about 3,000 half bottles per vintage. The grapes are dried to concentrate flavor and sugar levels and aging takes place for at least 6 years in the barrel. Flavors of apricot, nectarine, rasins, some warms spices.
