Wine Description

This classic Italian dessert wine is named after San Laurentino, the patron saint of the church located in the village of Bossi. It is made from grapes that are dried for five months to achieve optimal concentration of flavors and sugars, followed by a slow fermentation and lengthy maturation in traditional caratelli casks.

Acclaim
“The 2004 Vin Santo San Laurentino is a unique dessert wine with a fascinating rainbow of aromas that spans from canned peach to dried mint. In between, you get toasted almond, oak, sweet caramel and candied fruit.”
— Monica Larner, Aug 2013
“This amber-colored nectar is a quintessential dessert wine. It has heady aromas of maple syrup and dried orange slices. The palate is exceptionally smooth, with flavors of dried apricot, hazelnut and walnut, with a cinnamon accent. It’s a perfect meditation wine or to pair with fruit tarts or baked peaches.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2013
