The divine 2004 San Petrolo opens with a dark amber-chestnut color and unforgettable aromatic intensity that aspires to cooked brown sugar, maple syrup, toasted almond, raw natural honey straight from the honeycomb, caramel and hazelnut. It is enormously sweet and sticky in the mouth and presents glue-like density on the finish. This Vino da Tavola expression is made with equal parts Malvasia and Trebbiano. Fruit is dried in small trays (just three clusters per container) for six months and fermented in caratelli, the traditional small barrel used for Vinsanto. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2035. <br/><br/>

Viscous like motor oil, this intensely sweet wine reveals layers of molasses, salty caramel, licorice, dried apricot and quince paste before settling into a smoky, mineral aftertaste. Features an incredible amount of acidity to balance the sweetness. The finish goes on forever. Drink now through 2020. 13 cases made.
