WINE DESCRIPTION

Avignonesi Vin Santo di Montepulciano is a premium dessert wine produced by Avignonesi, a renowned winery located in the Montepulciano appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the region's unique terroir and microclimate. The grapes are then dried on straw mats to concentrate their flavors and sugars before being pressed and aged in small oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of dried fruit, honey, and nutty flavors, with a luscious texture and a long, satisfying finish. This Vin Santo is a perfect accompaniment to desserts or enjoyed on its own as a luxurious after-dinner treat.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Vin Santo di Montepulciano from Avignonesi is a wonderful expression of the Tuscan terroir.On the nose, this dessert wine is bursting with aromas of dried apricot, honey, and almond. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luscious, with flavors of figs, honey, and dried dates. The finish is long and well balanced, with a pleasant sweetness and subtle notes of toasted oak. A truly decadent and enjoyable wine.
