This extraordinary Il Conio Vin Santo del Chianti DOC from Campo di Monte is obtained from Malvasia bianca lunga del Chianti, dried for 4 months and matured, depending on the harvest, for approximately 8 years in wooden barrels of various types and one year of aging in bottles. Amber in color with violet reflections and an intense aroma of dried fruit and ripe yellow-fleshed fruits with quite spicy hints. On the palate, it is warm, fruity, spicy with a predominance of white pepper and a delicately fruity persistence. Soil Composition: clayey loam soil free from skeleton, predominantly exposed north/south, on the hills of Valdarno di Sopra at an average height of 295 meters above sea level. Vineyard: low spur cordon training system with 5000 vines per hectare. Quality of grapes: Malvasia Bianca Lunga, also known as Malvasia del Chianti and in the 1500s as Malvasia Bianca di Montegonzi. The rootstock is SO4. Sixty hectoliters are produced per hectare. Harvest: the harvest is manual, generally carried out in the second decade of September. The collection occurs in the early afternoon during the hottest hours. Each cluster of Malvasia is selected for its intrinsic quality with a proprietary methodology. Winemaking: the grapes are laid out for several months on mats in the cellar and, depending on the years, hung in strands. At the end of natural drying, they are pressed. The obtained must is placed in Tuscan barrels, which, made with higher quality wood, function to slowly transfer their distinct aromatic essences. In this phase, the 'family mother' is added, a concentrate received as an inheritance and the result of a blend aged three generations and renewed at each barreling. The forced fermentation lasts between 6 and 8 years. The use of the 'family mother' makes this wine certainly unique and distinctly characteristic of the company. Upon opening the barrels, the final cut follows a precise company methodology, making the vin santo 'il Conio' a unique wine in its kind. Year: 2007. Alcoholic percentage: 13.5%.
