Wine Tasting Notes
La Vialla's Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo glows deep amber-copper with aromas of dried apricot, fig, honey, caramel and toasted nuts. Luscious and silky, the palate balances its sweetness with a gentle oxidative tang and notes of vanilla and spice. Sip it with cantucci, blue cheese or simply as a meditative after-dinner treat.
