Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOCCastellare di Castellina, Tasting notes:
Vibrant amber colour. The nose is bursting with dried fruit, honey, caramel and candied fruit. On the palate it is broad and enveloping, leaving a sensation of chestnut flour and a long, pleasant finish.
Neither too dry nor too sweet. Produced in strict accordance with tradition, but with Malvasia Bianca and a small amount of Trebbiano grapes dried out in an aired area and not on “cannicci” (special wicker surfaces). And then in half-barriques with 20 to 30 year old deposits (“madri”). There’s never enough.
