    The grapes for one of the most elegant and ethereal Vin Santo in Chianti Classico are dried before they are pressed and then sealed in barrels for nine years. Paolo de Marchi calls it "lazy winemaking" and admits: "The blending process is actually the most challenging part, as each barrel is different and after tasting 10 barrels, palate fatigue sets in". The result is a very elegant and pure Vin Santo that has beguiling notes of candied fruit, honey and sweet spices. The balance between sweetness and acidity keeps the wine light, lively and refreshing, and it has a smoky edge on the finish. This is a great Vin Santo, and although it has more than 200g/litre of residual sugar, it is surprisingly light, refreshing and easy to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2011 is the last wine that Paolo de Marchi made before leaving Isole e Olena. It shows the richness and development of a warm year in its slightly forward flavours. Brown sugar, toffee, hazelnut, dried figs and spices gradually open up in the glass." Vinous

    "Amber in colour. Complex and evolved, with notes of apricot jam, celery, dried figs, candied orange peel and a hint of rancio. The zesty and lively acidity balances the dense sweetness, with a full body and a long, very spicy finish with dried apricots. Not an easy wine, only for connoisseurs, but very good." James Suckling
