2/2 Bright & focused, the structure drives the fruit and sugar into the palate. Age adds complexity, that caramelized sugar nuance I love. This 20-year likely outlives you. The winery once suggested a century or so. 13.5% alcohol. $75-ish for 500ml. #wine #greece #santorini #vinsanto

2/2 It handles itself well, though, and you'll be thinking about the sugar and fruit not the alcohol. Sundried styles on Santorini are a lot of fun. This is perhaps not a great example, but a good one. #wine #vinsanto #santorini #greece

1/2 This 2008 Vinsanto (bottled 2012) is perfect for drinking now--the category holds well, with those sundried grapes (Assyrtiko + 10% Aidani). There's fine tension, a mouthwatering finish with plenty of sugar and there is a fair hit of alcohol this year (14.5%). to part 2 #wine #greece #vinsanto

2/2 With some age, it's gone fully dark in color, but it also isn't decayed, just concentrated and caramelized. Absolutely delicious. Six years in barrel before release. Around $40 then for a 500ml. Just 11% alc. A bonus! #wine #assyrtiko #santorini #vinsanto #santowines

Classic Vinsanto--mostly Assyrtiko, a dollop of Aidani, from very old vines (60+). Sun dried grapes. This adds 300 g/l of sugar. Yet, it doesn't seem that sweet. There is power here and fine acidity, too, even as rich as it is. With some age, it's gone fully dark in color, but it also isn't decayed at all, just concentrated and caramelized. Absolutely delicious. Six years in barrel before release. Around $40 then for a 500ml. Just 11% alc. #wine #vinsanto #greece #santorini

@AngieYWine #Assyrtiko yes, and #Santorini wonderful. But the best #vinsanto I ever tasted was also from Santorini.

Tasted this charming vin santo rosato last evening. The pink version, called "ochio di pernice," or eye of partridge, must include at least 50% Sangiovese mixed with the more customary Trebbiano and/or Malvasia. This wine has 150g RS but firm acidity, and it was a good dredge for our orange almond biscotti.
