DESSERT - LAMOLE DI LAMOLE VINSANTO DEL CHIANTI CLASSICO DOC

Italy - Toscana

Baroque mellowness with a firm underlying framework; a deluge of aromas (candied orange peel, apricot and nectarine, wax, gritty honey, tobacco and herbs leads us into a dream-like flavor that is sweet and mouth-filling, yet ultimately classic and well-balanced, with a rich saline note in the aftertaste.

It is more versatile than one normally thinks; sweet dishes (all kinds of cookies, tarts, cheesecake, chocolate or cream desserts) are its forte, but it also makes an exciting foil for fine blue cheeses, liver crostini, rabbit terrine or castagnaccio (chestnut cake).
