Avignonesi Vin Santo Di Montepulciano 0.375L 2011

Avignonesi Vin Santo di Montepulciano 2011 is a rich Tuscan dessert wine made from Grechetto, Malvasia and Trebbiano Toscano, with a distinctive depth shaped by traditional air-drying and long oxidative maturation. Produced in the historic Vin Santo style, it reflects a centuries-old Tuscan approach to making concentrated, age-worthy sweet wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep amber in colour, it opens with pronounced aromas of raisins and candied fruit, followed by hints of tobacco and subtle mineral notes. The palate is full and enveloping, with concentrated sweetness balanced by lively acidity and a persistent, elegant finish. Its lengthy maturation in small oak casks gives the wine considerable complexity and makes it well suited to careful cellaring. The source information describes it as age-worthy but does not specify a further drinking window.

Production
The grapes come from Avignonesi’s Le Capezzine estate in the Valdichiana area near Montepulciano. The vineyard team selects loose clusters with resilient skins and limits yields to concentrate the fruit. After harvest, the bunches dry naturally on reed mats for six months before pressing; the small quantity of concentrated must is then settled and aged in partially filled small oak casks with the traditional wine lees known as the “mother.” This slow oxidative maturation lasts around ten years, followed by a further six months of rest.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with cantucci or other almond biscuits, blue cheese, or desserts featuring dried fruit and nuts. A small pour is ideal. Decanting is not usually necessary; if the bottle has been stored for a long time, open it shortly before serving and pour gently to leave any sediment behind.

Producer
Avignonesi makes this wine at its Le Capezzine estate, drawing on established local methods associated with Vin Santo di Montepulciano DOC. The estate’s careful grape selection, traditional drying on reed mats and extended cask maturation give the wine a strong connection to the region. No further details on the winery’s history or specific awards are provided.
