Vin Santo 500ml 2020

Vin Santo is a traditional Italian dessert wine, typically produced in Tuscany. The Gavala brand is known for crafting this wine following regional heritage methods.

Vin Santo is generally made from white grape varieties such as Trebbiano and Malvasia, which are dried to concentrate sugars before fermentation.

The production of Vin Santo involves drying harvested grapes on straw mats or hanging them in well-ventilated rooms to concentrate sugars and flavors. The grapes are then gently pressed and fermented slowly. The wine is aged in small wooden barrels, often chestnut or oak, for several years to develop its characteristic complexity and amber color.

• Appearance: Deep amber to golden brown color.
• Aroma: Rich bouquet with notes of dried fruits, honey, nuts, and subtle spices.
