Wine Description:

On the nose, it releases enveloping aromas of dried fruit, honey, toasted almond, and sweet spices, with hints of vanilla and caramel. On the palate, it is velvety, harmonious, and persistent, with a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness, making it ideal both on its own and paired with cantucci, dry biscuits, or aged cheeses.

Area of Production:

The production area of Vin Santo del Chianti Classico lies in the heart of Tuscany, among the gentle hills between Florence and Siena. This region, historically devoted to viticulture, is characterized by soils rich in galestro and alberese, which are ideal for cultivating Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, providing perfect conditions for the natural drying of the grapes and the slow aging of the wine in traditional oak barrels.

The vineyards are often located on well-exposed hillsides, ensuring excellent ventilation and a good temperature range—key elements for preserving the wine’s aromatic profile and freshness. The uniqueness of this wine is deeply tied to the land, its history, and the passion of the local producers.

Grapes:

The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC is traditionally made from a blend primarily composed of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca Lunga, two native grape varieties that best express the character of the Tuscan terroir. According to the official production regulations, the grapes must be hand-harvested and subjected to a natural drying process on racks or in well-ventilated rooms for a minimum of 60 days.

The vinification takes place in small oak barrels, where the wine undergoes a slow aging process of at least 3 years, developing its signature aromatic complexity and structure.
