Vin Santo del Chianti
Uggiano's Vin Santo del Chianti - aged 10 years in traditional caratelli (small barrels) - is Tuscany’s golden treasure. This luscious dessert wine dazzles with notes of dried apricot, honey, and toasted almond, delivering a velvety sweetness perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Sip it slowly with cantucci or as a decadent finale to any meal. Each glass is a celebration of Italian craftsmanship and the enduring allure of Tuscan tradition.
Suitable for vegans.
Tasting Notes
Straw-colored yellow, tending to golden. Ethereal and characteristic bouquet with hints of honey and raisins. On the palate, it is harmonic and velvety with a gently sweet finish.
Food Pairing
Perfect pairing with the traditional Tuscan dessert, Cantuccini. The “cookie” is traditionally dipped in the Vinsanto and enjoyed.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes are handpicked 15 days before their complete ripening to preserve a good acidity and put on straw to wither. After three months, the dried grapes are pressed and the must is fermented and aged in typical oak barrels called “Caratelli del Chianti”. Fermentation and contemporary ageing take three years; during this time the wine refines on its lees (madre).
