The 2011 Vin Santo di Carmignano Riserva (packaged in a 375-millilter bottle) is a blend of 90% Trebbiano and 10% San Colombano, another name for the white grape Verdea. I tasted bottle number 3,614 of only 5,264 bottles produced. This is a beautiful and seemingly indestructible dessert wine that offers intense tones of dried apricot, honey and toasted nut. The grapes are air-dried for up to six months, and the wine ages in traditional 100-liter oak barrels called caratelli for up to six years. Those pretty nutty flavors you get on the finish come directly from the aging process.
