NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Santa Cristina Vin Santo della Valdichiana offers enticing aromas of dried apricots, honey, and toasted almonds.These complex aromas are complemented by hints of orange peel and honey, adding depth and richness to the bouquet. The palate is equally impressive, with a luscious and velvety texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of caramelized sugar, candied orange, and dried figs dominate, creating a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruits and nuts. This Vin Santo is best enjoyed as a dessert wine, pairing beautifully with traditional Italian desserts.
