정의

Italian dessert wine made from dried grapes, a Tuscan specialty.

심층 분석

Grapes (typically Trebbiano and Malvasia) are dried on straw mats for 3-6 months, then fermented and aged in small sealed barrels (caratelli) for 3-10 years. The resultado is a golden, honeyed, nutty wine ranging from dry to sweet. Traditional with cantucci (almond biscotti). Vin Santo del Chianti and Vin Santo di Montepulciano are the most prized.
