Vin Santo del Chianti Antionori 0.375

Antinori's Vin Santo del Chianti is a highly prized sweet wine produced in the renowned Chianti region in the heart of Tuscany. This area is famous for its hilly landscapes, its clay and limestone soils and its mild climate, which together create ideal conditions for growing vines. The vineyards from which this wine comes are located at an altitude of about 200-300 meters above sea level, and face southwest. The grapes used for the production of Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori are mainly Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti, two native varieties that are perfectly adapted to the local terroir. The process of making Vin Santo is long and laborious. After the harvest, which usually takes place in late September, the grapes are dried on mats for several months to concentrate the sugars and aromas. Next, they are pressed and the resulting must is fermented in small oak, chestnut or cherry barrels. Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori is aged in these kegs for a period of at least three years. During this time, the wine develops its aromatic complexity and its characteristic sweet flavor, with notes of dried fruit, honey and spices. Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori is a wine that pairs perfectly with desserts made with dried fruit and honey, such as cantucci or panforte. It can also be an excellent meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly in moments of relaxation.
