Fèlsina Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2017 375ml

A fortified blend of Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Sangiovese

The 2017 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a gorgeous, exotic wine. Hazelnut, orange peel, spice and light caramel inflections all grace this elegant, floral Vin Santo. Bright acids perk up the finish nicely. Shortening the drying period slightly to compensate for grapes that were already high in sugar worked so well. This is classic as classic gets when it comes to Vin Santo.

Grapes are left to air-dry on racks until December and sometimes even up to January-February the following year. After pressing the must is transferred to sealed 100L casks (caratelli) along with a little bit of the "mother."

Ages seven years in small casks, with the "mother" (thick substance remaining from previous vintages), then 12 months in bottle. Suitable for long cellaring.
