VinSanto del Chianti Rufina Doc
Here is our dessert wine, produced by drying the Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes as tradition dictates, which is followed by a long stay in oak barrels … we left it to rest for 17 years in wood, where the wine has undergone natural drops due to absorption by the wood and which by our choice we do not go to fill with the following vintages, so we can say that we abandon our Vinsanto to a long hibernation during which it decreases both in terms of liquid but at the same time he concentrates to the extreme ….. and then in the bottle the sensations are infinite and all extremely pleasant.
