Félsina Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2011

Region: Vin Santo del Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy
Grape(s): Trebbiano, Malvasia, Sangiovese
Drinks Best: Now - 15 Years

Félsina produces this traditional Vin Santo by drying the grape clusters on straw mats until the February following harvest, concentrating the grapes’ natural sugars and flavors. After pressing, the must is transferred to oak casks containing the ‘mother,’ a thick substance remaining from previous vintages. After 7 years of aging, an elegant and nicely structured wine emerges with expressive notes of dried flowers, orange zest, and  caramel, with perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity.

Pairings: Perfect with almond biscotti
