Description
Vin Santo (Holy Wine) is an old style of Italian wine. It is made from Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, which have been allowed to dry and raisin under the winery's cellar roof for 3 months. By drying out the grapes like this, the flavours and sugars are concentrated. They are then gently pressed to obtain the most delicate and concentrated must, which is allowed to ferment and mature very slowly in small oak barrels. This process takes up to five years to complete! A wonderfully complex, classic style of sweet wine.Tasting Note
The result is an intensely concentrated sweet wine, offering rich flavours of raisin, walnut, and candied lemon peel. The palate is luscious and rich, but with a nice seam of refreshing acidity acting as a counterbalance.Product Reviews
