VINSANTO DEL CHIANTI D.O.C. (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) RISERVA

Vin Santo is the result of a long and patient investment.

Grown in the Chianti territories, the best grapes of Tuscan Trebbiano and Malvasia vines (mixed in more or less 50% proportion) are selected and harvested in October and let dry on trellis-work about four months. Subsequently, the grapes are pressed.

The juice slowly begins to ferment, gradually taking on the smells, taste and colour that make it unmistakable. Ageing takes place for two years or more in small oak barrels called "caratelli" with a maximum size of 100 Litres. Resting in neutral containers in this way allows for natural decantation, reducing to a minimum the processing required before bottling.
The time taken encourages further refinement. The result of this lengthy and arduous process is an amber colour wine, sweet, smooth, full of taste, with lime-tree and apricot aromas.

Ideal with sweets, chocolate, cheese or simply tasted alone, allowing one to meditate on its every hidden peculiarity.

Best served at 8/10°C (46/50°F).
Alcohol 16% Vol.
