Beschreibung
Sweet Passito from Tuscany, 13.5% ABV, produced by Santa Cristina (Antinori). Blend: 50% Malvasia, 50% Trebbiano Toscano. 0.375 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A Vin Santo that tells the story of the Antinori family and their passion for Tuscany. Harvesting took place directly on the drying plateaus, ensuring optimal preservation of the bunches. After the drying process, which lasted approximately four and a half months, the grapes with a high sugar content were gently pressed. The resulting free-run wine was transferred directly to oak barrels where alcoholic fermentation took place. Fermentation stopped spontaneously when the wine reached 13°C alcohol, leaving a natural residual sugar content. The aroma is characterized by traditional pastry notes, with notes of raisins, apricots, and candied fruit—characteristic of Malvasia—and hazelnuts, typical of Trebbiano Toscano. It displays a deep amber yellow in the glass. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, with an aromatic finish reminiscent of the dried fruit perceived on the nose.
