Wine Description:
Isole e Olena Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a premium dessert wine produced by the renowned winery Isole e Olena in the Chianti Classico appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The grapes are sourced from the estate's vineyards, which are situated on the hillsides of the region and benefit from the ideal climate and soil conditions. The wine is made using the traditional method of drying the grapes on straw mats before pressing, and a very long aging of several years on wooden barrels, which concentrates the sugars and flavors. The resulting wine is rich and complex, with notes of dried fruit, honey, and caramel, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect accompaniment to desserts or enjoyed on its own as a digestif.
