The Isole e Olena Vin Santo 375ml 2011 is a stunning example of the traditional Tuscan dessert wine. Deep amber in colour with golden highlights, this wine exudes aromas of dried apricot, honey, and candied orange peel. On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with layers of caramel, toasted almonds, and baked apple. The 2011 vintage showcases a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, creating a harmonious and lingering finish. The grapes used for this wine were carefully selected and left to dry for several months, resulting in concentrated and complex flavours. Produced by the renowned Isole e Olena winery, this Vin Santo is a true representation of the Tuscan terroir and a must-try for any wine connoisseur. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with almond biscotti for a decadent dessert experience.

Critic Reviews

Richard Baudains - Decanter

A complex nose with delicate oxidative notes of tobacco and moss, dried herbs and then figs, dried apricot and marmalade. More dry than sweet on the palate, with a beautifully poised, long and agile progression and a succulent, raisiny finish with a savoury mineral freshness. Pure elegance. Deep, old sherry shade.

James Suckling

Amber color. Complex and evolved, with notes of apricot jam, celery, dried figs, candied orange zest, nail polish and a hint of rancio. Zesty and lifted acidity balances the dense sweetness, with a full body and a long, super-savory finish of dried apricots. Not an easy wine, strictly for connoisseurs, yet very good. Drinkable now, but it will last for decades.

Danielle Callegari - Wine Enthusiast

A coppery, chocolate brown wine with sophisticatedly sweet aromas of milk chocolate, apricots, candied orange peel and tahini. The chocolate cascades over the palate, but more dried stone fruit and the simultaneously sweet and bitter tang of candied citrus guides you to a savory, nutty finish.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2011 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is the last wine blended by Paolo de Marchi before leaving Isole e Olena. It shows the richness and evolution of a warm year in its slightly forward aromas. Brown sugar, toffee, hazelnut, dried fig and spice open with some coaxing. I would prefer to drink this over the next few years
