“Readers who appreciate the classic style of Vin Santo will flip out over Castellare’s 2005 Vin Santo San Niccolò. This mid-weight, moderately sweet wine is simply text book in its hints of almonds, dried flowers, spices and orange peel. Slightly oxidative, burnished notes are woven throughout, adding further complexity. This is a fabulous showing from Castellare.”

“A fruity style, featuring pear, honey and grappa-like petrol aromas and flavors. Lightly sweet, this is balanced and long, with a walnut and caramel aftertaste.”
