Vin Santo del Chianti Classico D.O.C.

Vin Santo del Chianti Classico

This is a very special and fine wine, that strictly respects the most ancient traditions. It is only produced in the years the grapes reach a particular level of maturation.

The selected collection of Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes undergoes a long drying on mats. In the first months of the new year we proceed to the squeezing and the wine is placed in oak barrels for a aging of at least three years in vinsantiera, a wine cellar with special thermal characteristics.

This oenological practice gives our Vin Santo the unmistakable light amber color and intense light, with ethereal aromas and flavors. Extraordinary to accompany desserts and as a meditation wine.
