A blend of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti (a/k/a Malvasia Bianca Lunga). Med+ amber, slightly cloudy. Med+ to pronounced Sherry-like aromas of toasted almond, caramel, dried figs, dried apricots and Christmas cake spices. Medium sweet, with med+ to high acidity balancing the sugar. High but unobtrusive alcohol (15%). Full-bodied, w/ a creamy mouthfeel, intense flavors and sweet & sour & burnt molasses bitterness on the long finish. Complex, with many years of enjoyment left. Outstanding.

The result is a nutty, sweet-and-tangy, wine loaded with notes of hazelnut, caramel, bitter dark chocolate and espresso bean.
