Isole e Olena Vin Santo 375mL 2011

Isole e Olena Vin Santo is a Tuscan dried grape wine from an estate whose version is widely held up as one of the finest made.

Vin Santo is the old sweet wine of Tuscany, made by hanging or laying out bunches to shrivel through the autumn and winter before pressing what little juice remains. The must goes into caratelli, small sealed casks holding a portion of madre, the yeast rich lees of a previous batch, and is left for years in an unheated loft where the seasons swing from summer heat to winter cold. Isole e Olena, near Barberino Tavarnelle in Chianti Classico, works with the traditional Trebbiano and Malvasia and ages the wine far longer than the rules require.

Serve at around 12 degrees with almond biscotti, dried fruit, hard aged cheeses or simply on its own after a meal. And an opened bottle will keep well for several weeks.
