      PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

      14% ABV, 375 ml

      Vin Santo is a historic Tuscan sweet wine served on holidays, important occasions and shared at convivial gatherings. The grapes are left to dry for months, as tradition dictates, then gently pressed. Fermentation and aging take place over a period of at least 2 years in small oak casks resulting in a dessert wine with natural residual sugars. Pairs perfectly with desserts and all varieties of blue cheese.

      The first half of the 2018 growing season was defined by mild temperatures and repeated rain showers that provided generous groundwater resources. In April, vine development was slightly behind schedule but caught up to a normal pace during bud break and the following phases of flowering and fruit set thanks to abundant water reserves in the vineyards and normal stable temperatures. The arrival of July brought sunny skies and warm weather without any extreme heat events. Scattered rain showers at the end of August gave way to hot sunny weather in September.
      The grape harvest began at the beginning of September with Malvasia and was completed within a ten-day timeframe with Trebbiano Toscano.

      Plush, rich dessert wine with aromas of hazelnut, caramel, honey, tropical fruit, perfume and dried apricot. The texture is rich, with a dose of bright acidity on the finish to keep it lively and not cloying .
