The divine 2004 San Petrolo opens with a dark amber-chestnut color and unforgettable aromatic intensity that aspires to cooked brown sugar, maple syrup, toasted almond, raw natural honey straight from the honeycomb, caramel and hazelnut. It is enormously sweet and sticky in the mouth and presents glue-like density on the finish. This Vino da Tavola expression is made with equal parts Malvasia and Trebbiano. Fruit is dried in small trays (just three clusters per container) for six months and fermented in caratelli, the traditional small barrel used for Vinsanto. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2035. Luca Sanjust has embarked on a whole slew of new projects at his beautiful estate located in the southeast part of Chianti, near the Chianti Classico boarder. His first priority is returning to a cru-specific philosophy. He sees his top wine, for example, less as an expression of Merlot than an expression of the Galatrona single-vineyard. The Boggina site is planted to Sangiovese, and Luca explains that this spectacular vineyard has existed since the 1700s. He has two new wines from this site (one aged in amphora and one aged in barrel) that symbolize two voices from a single site. Importer: Vintus; www.vintuswines.com
