WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - "Thickly textured and concentrated, this intense Vin Santo exudes dried fig, date, molasses and caramel flavors. Shows excellent acidity, lingering with saturated notes of caramel and molasses, plus hints of cardamom and cumin. Drink now through 2035. 108 cases made, 11 cases imported."
Dark, dense and lush Avignonesi's Occhio de Pernice Vin Santo di Montepulciano is a unique sweet wine, known worldwide for its "nectar of the gods" characteristics.
The Sangiovese grapes used to make this dessert wine are dried fo several months on reed mars in the appassitoio (drying room). Subsequently moved into the cararelli they age for over a decate with the madre, a century-old yeast, to which Occhio di Pernice owes much of its special characteristics.
Secretive and seductive Occhio di Pernice offers an explosion of aromas and flavours which change in character and intersity based the the food pairings.
Thanks to the long ageing period during which the Occhio di Pernice goes through a natural oxidization process, this wine's qualities remain intact for a very long time even after the bottle has been opened. Just make sure it is tightly corked and stored in the refrigerator.
