On the palate, the Vin Santo Montepulciano DOC 2010 reveals richness, softness, and a sweetness well balanced by a measured yet decisive freshness. The sensations of dried figs, almonds, and orange marmalade accompany a deep, broad, and persistent sip, closed by a sensual and harmonious aftertaste.
