Castello di Brolio Vin Santo, Vinsanto del Chianti Classico Doc

The grapes destined for Vin Santo are gathered late in the harvest, at the point at which the sugar content is high enough to sustain the long ageing process that this wine undergoes. The bunches are hung and left to dry partially for several months. The must, obtained from light crushing, ferments slowly and ages at least seven years in small oak casks.

Tasting notes

Amber yellow color. Ethereal nose, with hints of honey, almonds and dried fruit. Silky in the palate, voluminous and harmonious, with excellent persistence and enveloping finish of licorice.
