Vinsanto del Chianti
Montespertoli DOC Riserva
Vinsanto is a wine which is closed to the heart of every tuscan wine producer. Extreme care is dedicated to the selection of the heathiest and ripest Trebbiano grapes which are hand harvested.
The bunches are then hung on wooden poles and left to dry in a well ventilated building. In late January the grapes are pressed and the must obtained is placed in oak casks where it starts to slowly ferment and during the following years acquires that unmistakable bouquet.
Vinsanto has a lovely amber colour, an intense ethereal and characteristic perfume and harmonious velvety taste with a hint of sweetness. An ideal companion for biscuits and home made cake, perfect with mature cheese.
