Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori is a highly prized sweet wine produced in the renowned Chianti region, in the heart of Tuscany. This area is famous for its hilly landscapes, clay and limestone soils, and mild climate, which together create ideal conditions for vine cultivation. The vineyards from which this wine originates are situated at an altitude of about 200-300 meters above sea level and face southwest. The grapes used for the production of Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori are mainly Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti, two native varieties perfectly suited to the local terroir. The production process of Vin Santo is long and laborious. After the harvest, usually at the end of September, the grapes are dried on racks for several months to concentrate sugars and aromas. They are then pressed, and the must obtained is fermented in small barrels made of oak, chestnut, or cherry wood. The aging of Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori takes place in these barrels for at least three years. During this time, the wine develops its aromatic complexity and characteristic sweet flavor, with notes of dried fruit, honey, and spices. Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori pairs perfectly with desserts based on dried fruit and honey, such as cantucci or panforte. It can also be an excellent meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly in moments of relaxation. Pairings: Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori is a sweet and complex wine with a structure that makes it ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes. It pairs perfectly with Tuscan cantucci, a classic dry almond biscuit. The balance between the wine's sweetness and the biscuit's crunch creates a perfect combination. Beyond desserts, Vin Santo del Chianti Antinori can also be paired with blue cheeses like gorgonzola. The wine's sweetness pleasantly contrasts with the cheese's saltiness and spiciness, creating a very interesting flavor balance. For a bolder pairing, it can be served with foie gras. The richness and sweetness of the wine can balance the creamy texture and intense taste of foie gras. Remember, food and wine pairing is very subjective and also depends on personal preferences. So, do not hesitate to experiment and find the pairing you like best. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place Alcohol content: 15.5% Vintage: 2020
