Wine Description:
Bellini Vin Santo del Chianti is a dessert wine produced by the Bellini winery in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is typically made using the Trebbiano Toscana and Malvasia grapes that are left to dry in well-aerated rooms until around mid-January when the sugar-rich berries are pressed. The resulting juice is fermented and matured in wooden casks for at least 5 years. This wine lends itself perfectly to pair with cheeses and dry desserts, such as almond cookies or tarts.
Pros:
  • A hugely complex and multi-dimensional wine with layers of dried apricot and honey

Cons:
  • Rich and concentrated wine that may not suit fans of lighter styles

Wine Expert Note:

Bellini Vin Santo del Chianti presents a rich amber hue with golden reflections. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of dried apricots, figs, and raisins, intertwined with notes of honey, caramel, and a subtle nuttiness, reminiscent of toasted almonds. On the palate, it offers a luscious, oily texture, balanced by a vibrant acidity that cuts through the sweetness. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, toffee, and vanilla dominate, followed by hints of orange zest and a delicate spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant warmth and a gentle almond bitterness. This wine is both opulent and balanced, showcasing the classic characteristics of a well-crafted Vin Santo.

Expert Rating:
3.5
The Guicciardini family, one of Florence's oldest, has held a prominent role in the city's political, social, and economic life since 1200. Their history is intertwined with the Castello di Poppiano, a medieval fortress built around the year 1000 to defend Florence. A 1199 inheritance document confirms the castle has been in the Guicciardini family for at least nine centuries. Today, the estate is a key player in the DOCG "Chianti Colli Fiorentini." The "alberese" soils, clayey but rich in skeleton and well-drained, are ideal for producing quality wines. The winery is next to the castle, while the aging cellar with oak barrels and barriques is located underground, maintaining optimal natural temperatures. Since 2015, Castello di Poppiano also includes Belvedere-Campòli in Chianti Classico and Massi di Mandorlaia in the Maremma, within the Morellino di Scansano appellation.
