Vin Santo del Chianti DOC
It is produced according to the ancient Tuscan tradition with Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes. This Vin Santo is born after drying on mats and a long period in small barrels known as "caratelli". It boasts an intense amber color and a pleasant fragrance of dried fruit with hints of honey and a sweet and velvety taste. It is ideal both as an aperitif and to be paired with traditional desserts.
