Vin Santo del Chianti Classico, 2009, 37.5cl, Doc

Isole e Olena, Tuscany

• Malvasia and Trebbiano
• Barrique

Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC from Isole e Olena is made from hand-picked Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, which undergo a rigorous selection process and then undergo natural drying. The wine is aged in traditional caratelli (small barrels), resulting in a Vin Santo of great sweetness and balance, with an aromatic persistence of infinite length.

The color is amber yellow with a very intense garment. The nose expresses intense aromas of rare complexity, with notes of hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts, enriched by hints of flower honey and candied orange peel. The palate is soft, elegant and velvety with a lingering finish of dried fruit. The remarkable freshness, provides exceptional balance and harmony.

Food and wine pairing:

Ideal with dry pastries and chestnut cake but also with aged cheeses. A must with chocolate desserts or is one of the few wines that can afford this ambitious pairing. Try it as a meditation wine.
