Capezzana Vin Santo Wins Champion Award Posted by Andrew Barrow, 1:49pm 13/09/2007. Our Capezzana Vin Santo, specifically the 2000 vintage, has just been awarded the Champion Sweet Trophy at the International Wine Awards. Praise indeed.
Unware that the wine had been so highly praised I managed to snaffle a sample - OK, a rather large glass - at the end of a tasting in London yesterday. It really is a delicious wine and much needed after a long red wine tasting session.
It is complex on both the nose and palate. Sweet of course, but with a cleansing acidity that keeps it from being cloying. A delicious nutty edge melds with flavours of apricots and stewed oranges.
Such delicious liquids do not come cheap, sadly. This wonderful wine, guaranteed to develop and improve for many years retails for £24.99.
Capezzana Vin Santo 2000 available for £24.99
