Isole e Olena Vin Santo 2011 (375ml) TBO and a crisp mineral backboneDeep amber reveals a decade of patient aginghand selected grapes dried until January, then aged for 10 years unopened in small barrels alongside "the mother," the sediment of vintages past. The result is layered complexity: dried apricot, roasted nuts, honey, and orange zest converge with subtle spice, a meditation in a glass on time and terroir. A singular document of Tuscan tradition from one of Chianti Classico's most revered estates.
