Wine Hunter - Cardinal De Retz

Another splendid accolade for Marchesi Gondi – Tenuta Bossi: the news comes from Wine Hunter , which has awarded the Bollino Rosso to the Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina DOC Riserva Cardinal de Retz 2006.

‍

Our Vin Santo is amber in colour with intense tawny shadings. Great aromatic intensity with remarkable complexity and breadth of perfume. Mellow notes of dried fig, almond, caramel, candied fruit, date and chestnut honey close with sweet spice and a slightly ethereal finish. On the palate it is sweet, mellow and round, with both elegance and strength. Its gustatory balance is intriguing: over a structure entirely governed by an elegant alcoholic note, it finds supporting freshness. The finish is extremely long, echoing all the notes perceived on the nose, dried apricot in particular.
