It was one of those serendipitous opportunities which one can take when it presents itself. Quite a few of the exhibitors at the Chianti Pavilion at this year's Wine Fair presented their Vin Santo and so I was able to get a tasting together of this interesting sweet wine.
Of the six wines tasted, the oldest was from 1997 and the youngest from 2010, with the rest (the largest "cohort") being from 2007. They varied in sweetness from moderately sweet to nearly cloyingly so, and surprisingly the least as well as the most sweet wines tasted were from the 2007 vintage. Little can be said comparing the 2010 and the 1997 wines. What is however evident is that the different estates produced very different wines and perhaps it is best to explore these separately later on in different entries.
