Vin Santo del Chianti Classico
We hand carried this bottle from Chianti about 5 years ago. I met the Count in Napa and he invited me to visit if I ever made it to Italy. I loved it then and it still reminds me of Italy. Not overly sweet with honeyed figs but a nice amount of acidity and an almost syrupy thickness. Beautiful!
