The 2010 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Castello di Brolio has a bright orange color, reminiscent of honey and baltic amber. This is an epic rendition of one of the most beautifully made dessert wines to emerge from Italy. This Vin Santo pours from the bottle with bright intensity and golden highlights. The bouquet offers multiple layers of dried apricot, toasted almond, dried rose, caramel and honeysuckle. In the mouth, this wine is viscous and rich with a thick glycerin content that wraps over the palate. I have had the good fortune of tasting back vintages of this wine all the way back to 1923 and I can vouch for its impressive aging range and enormously long drinking window. The Vin Santo is packaged in a 500-milliliter bottle with an alcohol content of 16.5%.
