About this wine

Grapes

80% Trebbiano and 20% Malvasia.

Ageing

Matured for at least 36 months in traditional 500-litre caratelli.

Technical data

Vin Santo del Chianti DOC. Alcohol: 16% vol. Available formats: 750 ml and 1.5 L; the 2020 shop release is presented in a 750 ml bottle.

Tasting profile

Golden yellow tending towards amber. The intense, persistent and fruit-driven bouquet leads to a rounded, velvety and sweet palate marked by pronounced dried-fruit notes.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 12–14 °C with dry pastries or cantuccini.

Label / history

Vin Santo’s roots extend deep into history. Its traditional association with healing the sick is presented as one possible origin of the epithet “santo.” Its identity is also linked to golden reflections and rounded, velvety aromas.
