WINE DESCRIPTION

Selvapiana Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina is a quintessential example of a traditional Italian dessert wine, crafted by the esteemed Selvapiana estate in the Chianti Rufina region. This Vin Santo is made from Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, which are carefully harvested and then dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors. The wine undergoes a lengthy aging process in small oak barrels, resulting in a rich, complex profile. Selvapiana’s dedication to quality and traditional methods ensures that this Vin Santo offers a truly authentic taste of Tuscany’s winemaking heritage.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Selvapiana Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina displays a deep amber color with golden highlights.The bouquet is a harmonious blend of dried fruits, honey, toasted nuts, and hints of vanilla. On the palate, it is luscious and velvety, with concentrated flavors of figs, apricots, and caramel. The wine’s natural sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, providing a long, satisfying finish with notes of roasted almonds and a subtle hint of spices.
