Wine Expert Note:

The Fèlsina Vin Santo del Chianti Classico unveils itself with a deep amber hue, hinting at its richly textured palate. On the nose, it offers an intoxicating bouquet of dried apricots, honey, toasted almonds, and a hint of spice. As you take a sip, the wine cascades over the palate with sumptuous flavors of candied fruits, toffee, and a touch of citrus zest. This lusciously sweet wine is perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity, ensuring it never becomes cloying. Its finish is long, warm, and resonates with echoes of dried fruits and honeyed richness. Traditionally paired with cantucci (Tuscan almond biscuits), it can also be enjoyed with blue cheeses or simply savored on its own as a meditative drink. This Vin Santo stands as a testament to Fèlsina's unwavering commitment to maintaining and celebrating Tuscany's treasured wine legacies.

Crafted from Trebbiano, Sangiovese, and Malvasia, this Italian gem hails from Meleto and S.Piero vineyards, perched 400 meters above sea level and planted between 1972 and 1974. With 3,500-5,000 vines per hectare, yields reach 6 tons (Trebbiano/Malvasia) and 5 tons (Sangiovese). The Guyot-trained vines undergo a meticulous harvest and natural withering, followed by fermentation and aging in mixed wood casks for 4-5 years. The result is an amber elixir boasting dried fruits, honey, apricot, vanilla, and spice notes. Its full, velvety palate showcases great structure, roundness, and a lingering finish, beautifully balanced with acidity.
