Wine Description
It is produced in small quantities from Trebbiano and San Colombano grapes, selected from the ripest vines registered in the Carmignano register and left to dry on mats until February, following the traditional method. The must is then placed in small barrels (caratelli) for at least five years. The yield is very low: from 1/4 to 1/5 of the original weight of the grapes. After bottling, Vin Santo can be aged without time limit, still gaining in richness and fragrance.
COLOR: Intense golden yellow.
AROMA: Highly complex, fruity, with notes of dried and candied apricot and orange peel; floral notes of yellow flowers.
TASTE: Complex, sweet, soft, opulent, with a fruity aftertaste, persistently candied fruit.
GASTRONOMY PAIRINGS
Pairs well with biscuits, all Tuscan desserts, blue cheeses, and even liver pâté.
OTHER PAIRINGS
Thoughts, words, and meditation.
PRODUCTION: 5,256 numbered bottles.
