Vinsanto

Can anyone visiting friends in Tuscany, no matter the hour, day or night, not find himself offered a small Vinsanto? The wine of hospitality, of friendship, of courtesy!
A wine with ancient roots, but all too often crafted a bit hit and miss. Thus we set about developing vinification practices that would bring to the fore savoury richness but respect its cardinal principles: loft-drying of the best malvasia bianca and trebbiano clusters, then pressing of the must and transfer to barriques, fermentation and subsequent ageing for five years. The result is a sensational nectar, worthy to entrust to the future.


Vineyard profile
The grapes that produce this Vinsanto were selected from the best malvasia bianca and trebbiano fruit from a total area of about 5 hectares in the Bellavista, Casuccia, and Bertinga vineyards.
No more than 1-2 clusters per vine are suitable for producing this wine; such rigorous standards are necessary to ensure absolutely healthy, fully ripe grapes. Transportation in shallow boxes means that no grapes are broken open on their way to the drying-lofts.
The proportion between grapes picked and the bottled Vinsanto averages 1:5.
