Tasting notes

This is the red vin santo, which is so rare today. The colour is red-brown. Quite browning, all the way to the core. A little green towards the rim. The nose shows old wood, dust, dried fruits, caramel and typical oxidated notes. Some complexity. Fullbodied and half-dry in the mouth. Good concentration. Sweet old woodiness and caramel. Citrus and spice in the finish. Fine acids and good length. A bit rustic, with high alcohol. Fine rancio-styled wine, a bit drier than you expect.
