Description
Fontodi’s Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a beautifully traditional Tuscan dessert wine that captures both the character of the region and the patience behind its making. Crafted from Malvasia and Sangiovese and aged in small sealed barrels, it offers an authentic and deeply expressive taste of Chianti Classico history.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the warm, amber-golden tones expected of a classic Vin Santo. The nose is ethereal and pronounced, with aromas of raisins, honey, dried fruit, and a subtle nutty depth that adds complexity.
On the palate, it is sweet, textured, and harmonious, with a gentle lift that keeps the richness from feeling heavy. The flavors echo the aromatics, bringing together dried apricot, caramelized fruit, honeyed notes, and a long, elegant finish. Thanks to its balance and concentration, it should continue to evolve gracefully over time.
Production
This Vin Santo is made in Tuscany from carefully selected Malvasia and Sangiovese grapes, which are harvested and then left to dry for around five months to concentrate flavor and sweetness. After pressing, the must is transferred to sealed 50- and 110-liter barrels made from chestnut wood and French oak, where it matures for approximately nine years, developing its distinctive depth and complexity.
Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with cantuccini di Prato, dry biscuits, almond-based pastries, or simple desserts that complement its sweetness without overpowering it. Serve slightly chilled, around 12–14°C, and no decanting is usually necessary—just allow it a few minutes in the glass to open up.
