Vin Santo Del Chianti

The Masi family has been making wine for three generations. It currently produces a wide range of wines (white, rose, red and dessert) from a variety of grapes all of which come from the area of Rufina and its surroundings (except for the Bianco^? Vergine Valdichiana).

Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia del Chianti, Chardonnay

Vinsanto is produced in very small quantities and only from the best vintages by following an age-old traditional technique, only slightly
updated in order to obtain the best results and the highest quality. This dessert wine is fruit of the passion, care and fantasy of all who contributed to create it.

The best bunches of Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia del Chianti and Chardonnay grapes are selected and then dried on mats or dangled from rafters, in an airy room. Here the grapes (which turn to raisins^?) stay until the end of January/beginning of February, when they are crushed. The very sweet must^? obtained is transferred to ferment^? and age in French and Slavonian small oak^? barrels ("caratelli"), part of which are new. In some barrels we add the "mother" from a previous vintage^?, in others we don't. The Vinsanto is released after four years of ageing.

Antique gold colour with amber hues. Very intense^?, complex^? and persistent nose^? with dried fruits, vanilla^?, orange^? peel aromas and flavours^?, hints of incense. On the palate^? sweet, full bodied, balanced and with a long finish^?.

16% alcohol^? vol.

Ideal for dipping dry^? almond biscuits ("Cantucci^?") and excellent with all dry or semi-dry cakes typical of the Tuscan cuisine such as chestnut tart^? ("Castagnaccio"). Excellent also with cheese (pecorino^? toscano in particular) and caramelized figs.

Suitable for long-term cellaring, although its quality will remain stable rather than evolve.
