“Vin Santo del Chianti Doc”
Emotion: Enchanting sweetness.
VINSANTO DEL CHIANTI D.O.C.
It’s a typical and unique Tuscan wine made by a selection of native white grape Trebbiano (in majority). In line with the ancient traditions, the best grapes are selected by hand from a specialized team (at the right maturation grade) on Septemper and left hanging on to dry until December/January. After this process the grapes are pressed producing a harmonious must with a high sugar concentration. Aged in small oak kegs (named Caratelli) for at least 10 years and further refinement in bottle.
This wine is the result of constant engagement in the first stage of the selection of grapes and the patient dedication at every stage of the winemaking. That’s why it is produced only in particular and outstanding years.
…Just think at a beautiful bunch of white grape, nothing else but grape juice aging for years and years in wood waiting for the perfect time to be bottled….

Excellent on its own or with desserts, pastries, or dark chocolate as well as on top of a vanilla ice cream. Try also with blue cheeses (served at 14-16°C) or pâté, salted pistachio or almonds. Good sipping wine (meditation wine). This wine might be served at room temperature or directly from the fridge for better pleasantness. Wine that once you open you don’t need to hurry to finish as this is already an oxidated wine as it doesn’t spoil during the years.
