XXVII Merano WineFestival and Cardinal de Retz

Following the award given to the Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina DOC Riserva Cardinal de Retz 2006 at the Wine Hunter Award, Marchesi Gondi – Tenuta Bossi has been invited to take part in the XXVII Merano Wine Festival, to be held from 10 to 12 November in Merano.

You will be able to taste our Vin Santo in the Wine Hunter area inside the Rotunde of the Kurhaus in Merano, in the building’s foyer, from 5 pm to 6 pm.

Cardinal de Retz 2006 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.
