Falchini “Podere Casale Iº” Vin Santo del Chianti Riseva 2012 (375ml)

Vin Chicago: 92 Points

(5/2025) A unique Tuscan treasure, this Vin Santo is crafted from Trebbiano and Malvasia vines planted in estate vineyards around San Gimignano. These grapes are dried before pressing, and aged significantly in barrel before bottling with reliable DIAM 10 corks. At 12-years-young you arrive to notes of maple syrup, smoked preserved lemon, steeped red apple peels, roast chestnut, dried apricot, english toffee, and spices. With a subtle tannic structure, this is a multifaceted dessert wine deserving some contemplation. Engaging and weightless in its attack, the full 17% ABV carries through the finish. Biscotti and cheeses - meet your new sweetheart!
