WINE DESCRIPTION
Tenuta San Vito Malmantico Vin Santo del Chianti is a remarkable dessert wine from the heart of the Chianti region in Tuscany, Italy. Crafted from carefully selected grapes, typically Trebbiano and Malvasia, this Vin Santo is made using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are dried on straw mats to concentrate their sugars and flavors. The wine undergoes a lengthy aging process in small oak barrels, allowing it to develop its complexity and distinctive character. Tenuta San Vito's commitment to quality and tradition results in a Vin Santo that beautifully captures the essence of Tuscany.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Vin Santo opens with an enticing bouquet of dried fruits, apricots, and figs, complemented by notes of honey, almonds, and subtle spice.On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with a luscious sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. The flavors are complex, showcasing nuances of caramel, orange peel, and a touch of nuttiness, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This dessert wine pairs beautifully with traditional Tuscan desserts like cantucci (almond cookies), cheese, or can be enjoyed on its own as a luxurious after-dinner treat. It is best served slightly chilled to enhance its aromatic profile.
