Vintage 2012 – sweet, complex and beautifully expressive of the Tuscan terroir. For auction: one bottle of Vin Santo di Carmignano 2012 “Occhio di Pernice”, produced by Artimino 1596, a historic Tuscan estate renowned for its traditional sweet wines. This rare Vin Santo is made primarily from partially dried Sangiovese grapes, blended with other local varieties, and aged for several years in small oak barrels according to the classic Tuscan “appassimento” and slow oxidative ageing methods. The 2012 vintage resulted in a wine of extraordinary richness and elegance. “Occhio di Pernice” displays an intense amber-rose colour. On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried cherry, red berries, almonds, honey and subtle notes of spice and cedar. On the palate, it is luscious, balanced and persistent, with vibrant acidity that complements the sweetness, a hallmark of well-crafted Vin Santo. The finish is long, layered and harmonious, leaving a lasting impression. Ideal as a dessert wine, with cantucci (Tuscan almond biscuits), chocolate, mature cheeses, or enjoyed on its own. Bottle stored under optimal cellar conditions. A collectible Tuscan sweet wine with outstanding ageing potential.
